Description
The Paisley Co-Operative, located at 25, 27, and 29 Causeyside Street in Paisley, was designed by architect Robert B Miller and built between 1907 and 1908 in the Free Renaissance style. This four-storey building with an attic features seven symmetrical bays, including gabled and central bays, a curved corner, and one returned gabled bay on the north side. The exterior is primarily constructed of ashlar stone, with a modern ground floor that retains pink granite columns on pedestals and a semi-circular pediment above the central doorway.
A mutuled cornice runs above the ground floor, while the upper floors display channelled masonry between the bays, with pilasters flanking the end and center bays. The first and second floors feature inset canted windows with a cill course, and the third floor has segmentally headed tripartite windows supported by Ionic colonnettes. The eaves cornice is also mutuled and is balustraded between shaped gables that include thermal windows. The left corner of the building has canted windows on the first and second floors, and a female statue is positioned on the third floor. A leaded cupola crowns the structure. The returned north bay is treated similarly to the end bays, with a door at the ground level mirroring that of the central entrance. Inside, the center doorway is adorned with patterned glazed tiles.
