Church of the Immaculate Conception, Livery Street, 1907-8, Charles Menart
Soaring confection on the site of the 1822 Seceders' Kirk, the west façade framed by twin pinnacles focused upon a twin entrance, heavily cusped and carved in ashlar. Large aisled church within, a rich Gothic sanctuary. Altar of Sienna marble. Baptism of Christ window in the baptistry, 1959, by William Wilson. Livery Street houses and cottages were largely redeveloped, from 1977, by Gordon Duncan Somerville. Three-storey harled and slated flats and houses with excellent landscaping, rather vernacular in such a town centre location. Compare Roberts & Paul's 1960s flats in Marjoribanks Street, and Wilson & Wilson's 1950s flats in Drumcross Road.
