The Kelvin Stevenson Memorial Church is a Gothic Revival building in Glasgow featuring red sandstone walls and a distinctive crown tower. The structure showcases detailed stonework typical of Scottish ecclesiastical architecture from the early 1900s.
Construction of the building finished in 1902 with funding provided by shipowner John J. Stevenson and design work by his nephew architect J. J. Stevenson. The development reflected the expansion of religious institutions in Glasgow during that period.
The congregation formed through mergers of East Park Church, Kelvinside Old Church, and Wilton Church, reflecting local community changes over decades.
The building has main entrances on Belmont Street and Garriochmill Road, providing visitors with multiple ways to approach the site. The location is easily accessible on foot with clear landmarks nearby to help you navigate.
The crown tower shares design features with historic chapels in other Scottish cities such as Aberdeen and Edinburgh. This architectural connection links the building to Scotland's older ecclesiastical building traditions.
