Description

The Sir James Clark Building, located on Seedhill Road in Paisley, is a three-storey, nine-bay former gassing mill constructed in 1922. It was designed by William James Morley & Son for J & P Coats as part of their Anchor Mill complex and is currently used as a business centre as of 2016.

The building features a steel frame and is clad in painted brick, with a projecting cornice and blocking course. Most of the windows are large, aluminium multi-pane designs with raised cills set in recessed panels, while some bronze multi-frame windows are found on the east elevation. The entrance doors on the principal south elevation have been replaced with non-traditional options. Above an entrance on the northwest side, there is a carved stone depiction of the face of Sir James Clark. The flat roof includes rooflights.

Inside, as observed in 2016, each floor is fitted with maple timber floorboards and has been partitioned to create modern office spaces, with an open corridor running along the north side. Some steel structural columns with flat lacing bars are exposed. A shallow stair with maple timber treads at the east end provides access to all floors. The ladies' cloakroom on the east side is lined with pink Vitrolite tiles and features two deep recesses with mirrors, along with a terrazzo floor.
