Life Church, Category B listed church building in Southside, Edinburgh, Scotland
Life Church features a Neoclassical design with double Doric columns flanking the main entrance and a rectangular two-storey facade built in 1813.
The building originated as an Auld Licht Anti-Burgher Secession Church in 1806 under Thomas M'Crie the Elder before undergoing multiple denominational changes throughout the centuries.
The structure represents Edinburgh's religious architectural heritage, requiring specific preservation measures as mandated by its Category B listed building status.
The church building sits at coordinates 55.9455, -3.18305, with current plans for expansion requiring approval through the City of Edinburgh Council's planning department.
During renovations in 1886, architect George Washington Browne added an ornate ceiling to the interior, which remained until roof repairs necessitated its removal in 1981.
