Ruchill Church Hall was erected in 1899 as mission halls for Westbourne Free Church. It has subtle Art Nouveau touches especially in the internal glazing and door panels.
The building shows a refreshing lack of modernisation, leaving all the original Mackintosh features intact, a century after they were created.
Visitors will receive a friendly welcome in the "Mackintosh Tea Room", providing refreshments for guests enjoying the architecture.

Ruchill United Free Church, now known as Ruchill Parish Church, was built in a contrasting style to Mackintosh's hall. The red sandstone building with a squat square tower was designed by Neil Campbell Duff, with no attempt to match the style or the colour of its neighbour. The two buildings are linked by a red sandstone Gothic archway.
