45-47 Causeyside Street, Paisley

45-47 Causeyside Street is a four-storey tenement designed by architect T G Abercrombie in 1903, showcasing a free style. The building features six bays along Causeyside Street and two bays on Johnston Street, constructed from ashlar stone with later shops added to the ground floor.

On the Causeyside Street elevation, the left bay has one window on each floor, while the remaining five bays are symmetrically arranged with bipartite windows in the center. The second and third floors have these windows set on a corbelled projection, topped with a segmental broken pediment that extends through the eaves. The flanking bays contain single windows. The outer bays feature canted windows on the first and second floors, and tripartite windows on the third floor, all beneath a bracketted eaves cornice and a balustraded parapet. This is flanked by corniced wallhead stacks, with the right stack being reduced in size.

The circled corner of the building has three sash windows on each floor, with a cornice above the first floor and cills on the second floor. The third floor features a bracketted cill cornice from which thin pilasters rise to corbels that support an exaggerated bell-cast splayed roof, which is copper clad.

On the Johnston Street elevation, the left bay has bipartite windows on each floor, while the right bay has single windows, with those on the second and third floors corbelled out and rising to an open pediment that is paired through the eaves. The glazing throughout features small panes on the upper sashes. Both elevations have swept eaves, and the building is topped with a slate roof and corniced stacks.
