Description
68 Maxwellton Road in Paisley is a two-storey and attic building, constructed in 1886 in the Renaissance style. The building features a symmetrical three-bay façade made of ashlar stone. At the center, there is an architraved doorpiece topped with a consoled pediment, flanked by sidelights and pilasters. The flanking windows are tripartite and have architraves, with segmental consoled pediments above the central lights. There is a moulded continuous cill band and raised aprons at both the ground and first floors.
A continuous entablature runs at lintel level, and the first-floor windows also have architraved tripartites with aprons. The center window is adorned with scrolls at its base and carved ornamentation in the apron. Above the first floor, the entablature features a dentilled cornice. The eaves have a parapet that includes two tripartite pilastered dormers, which are scrolled and pedimented. A shouldered date-stone is located at the center of the dormers, topped with a segmental finialled pediment. The roof is covered with slate and has straight skews, along with corniced and panelled ashlar end stacks, which are supported on corbelled arches at the gables.
