TIMELINE

1933: 5 February Larbert became an independent mission.

1934:  Chapel-hall designed by Reginald Fairlie built facing south onto Main Street.  It is a low single-storey building with white harled walls and slated roof.  The hall is aligned W/E with short southward projecting wings at either end.  Small buttresses occur on the long walls, with windows between them.  A single tall chimney is typical of the 1930s.

1970s: Modern porches have been added to both wings.  That on the west wing is flat-roofed, c1970; that on the east is an extension of the ridge with a triangular glass pediment above the door, c2000.

A dwelling occurs in the grounds, between the chapel and the Main Street.
