More information on St Vincent Street Free Church
This church, built for the United Presbyterians in the late 1850s, is regarded as Alexander "Greek" Thomson's masterpiece. Thomson's style was influenced by Assyrian, Egyptian and Indian architecture, as can clearly be seen here. It takes the form of a temple-like edifice and an unconnected tower, the effect of which has been sadly diminished by neighboring office blocks. The interior is as impressive as ever, though strikingly high and light. The church is now owned by Glasgow City Council and Free Church of Scotland services are held here. It is open to the public by appointment.
