I spent a lot of time here, what with Sunday School, plays, concerts, and Art School with Mr Chairleg McKenzie; The building has been disused for some time now.
 
I myself have not even seen inside this lovely building! would very much like to have a look around....is this building up for sale then? I am aware that it has been empty..for some time... sad#
 
I have not seen any for sale signs. Inside the porch, there are granite steps up, and then through the inner doors to a great hall; to your right was a large stage and proscenium arch. In the far right was the access lobby, and a ping-pong table room; in the side alley to the manse were toilets, a kitchen and a side room.
