The view is from the footpath / cycle path along the west side of the River Leven. The building itself is set back about 80 metres from Main Street, and access to it is by means of a pend through a building set closer to the street. When this building was erected there were two churches nearby; another one would be built just a few years later: Image The existing ones nearby were the Gaelic Free Church at Image, about 40 metres to the northwest of Rossbank Place (see comments at Image), and one that is variously labelled "Mission Church" (1860), "U.P.Church" (1897) and "U.F.Church" (1914), at Image, corresponding to present-day Trinity Place, 60 metres WSW of Rossbank Place. See the last paragraph at Image for the dates of the two churches that are no longer present; the "Parish Church in Alexander St" mentioned there is Renton Trinity Parish Church itself.
