Abstract: |
A Level 1 standing building survey was carried out on 31 Jan and 10 February 2020. The hall was built in one phase in 1951 by the Brethren as a meeting house, replacing a wooden shed which had been in use for the purpose. The main entrance is in the NE wall on New Pier Road and this leads to a corridor with male and female cloakrooms and toilets on each side of the corridor. Above the door into the hall is a painted plaque 'IT IS TIME TO SEEK THE LORD'. The Hall is one main room with dais at the SW end with a full immersion font lined with sheet steel and with copper fittings. There is a painted plaque above the dais 'GATHER MY SAINTS TOGETHER UNTO ME' and there is a wooden lectern with an bible and 'THY WORD IS TRUTH' on the NE panel facing the congregation. The door in the SE end of the room leads to a small kitchen and a door to the rear. Excavation of the garden has revealed surfaces and finds dumped in the grounds prior to the hall being constructed and this has added information to the history of this area of Footdee. |
