Clune Park Church, Category B listed Gothic Revival church in Port Glasgow, Scotland
Clune Park Church is a red rubble building with Gothic Revival design features a modest tower and wooden porch structure protected by buttresses. An Art Nouveau window marks the entrance, adding an early modern touch to the traditional stone exterior.
The church was built in 1905 by the architectural firm Boston, Menzies and Morton to serve the growing Clune Park residential area. It remained in active use for nearly a century before closure in 1997.
The church shaped how the new residential area of Clune Park developed its community identity through religious architecture. Its design reflects what people valued in early 20th century Scottish neighborhoods and how they wanted their public buildings to look.
The building is located on Robert Street and is not currently accessible to visitors due to its deteriorating condition. It appears on the Buildings at Risk Register, and substantial repairs are required before public access can resume.
Despite missing roof sections, broken windows, and structural damage, specialists recognized it as worth saving for its architectural heritage. This assessment shows how historical importance can persist even when a building falls into severe disrepair.
