history
There was a Salvator Church in Dundee as early as the Middle Ages, but it is not connected to today's churches. For the mill workers in the Dundeer district of Hilltown , Bishop Alexander Forbes had a mission hall built in 1857, which formed the nucleus of the Salvator Church. The nave was added between 1865 and 1868, the choir in 1874. All sections of the building were planned by the Scottish architect George Frederick Bodley . The paintings were restored in 1907 and 1936 and the entire building in 1972.
description
St Salvador's Episcopal Church is located on St Salvador's Street northeast of downtown Dundee. The neo-Gothic building is designed in the simple style of the early English Gothic . Its masonry consists of uneven, roughly hewn quarry stone blocks with natural stone details. The west gable is designed with a wide tracery . A Celtic cross closes the gable. The protruding narthex dates from 1874. The former mission hall is on the right. It is more simply designed with a coupled window and rose window . Above the entrance portal, the coat of arms of the bishops of Brechin is embedded below the quatrefoil . On the ridge of the slate-covered gable roof sits a simple square roof turret with an open bell.
The nave is seven axes wide. Buttresses divide the facade vertically. The simple aisle has no windows. The three-axis choir adjoins on the east side. It is a little lower than the nave. The three-part tracery resemble those of the nave. The east gable is designed with twin windows and a rose window.
