Crosshill Queen's Park Church, 40 Queen's Drive, 1872, Campbell Douglas & Sellars

Franco-German Gothic, massive buttressed square south-east tower with tall octagonal spire. Douglas's earlier partner J J Stevenson may have had a hand in the design before he left for London, but the adventurous spire is more suggestive of Sellars' hand. Large Geometric traceried window over wide gable porch. The clerestory windows helped in the conversion to flats, 2004.
