Description
Hayweighs, located at 7-9 King Street in Paisley, is a four-storey tenement building constructed around 1900 in the Free Renaissance style. The façade features four bays and a semi-octagonal facetted angle bay above ground level, built of ashlar stone. The ground floor houses a public house, which is adorned with a Tuscan pilastrade on pedestals.
The central section of the ground floor has four semi-elliptically arched windows, flanked by two similar doors on the left and one on the right. The facetted corner at ground level is blind. Above this, there is an entablature with a cornice that forms a cill band for the first floor. The upper floors display alternate bays with canted windows that are transomed; the second floor features corbelled balconies and a shaped string course above. The facetted corner is treated in a similar manner.
Between the canted windows are mullion and transom windows; the first floor windows are set in recessed panels with segmental heads, while the second floor windows have bracketted cornices. The eaves cornice is bracketted and extends over the canted windows, and the parapet is shaped over both the canted and facetted bays.
The return elevation has four ground floor bays that resemble the front, with simplified details above, including two corbelled wallhead stacks. The roof is slate with corniced ashlar stacks. The interior of the public house has been modernised.
