Monimail, 22 Thornly Park Avenue, Paisley

Monimail, located at 22 Thornly Park Avenue in Paisley, is a classical villa designed by Charles Davidson in 1906. This two-storey, three-bay building has been divided into two flats and features a swept piend and platform roof, along with a minor extension. The exterior is constructed from red sandstone ashlar with matching dressings, a base course, and a mutuled eaves cornice. The entrance includes a keystoned moulded round-headed doorcase and first-floor windows that have an arcaded effect, also with hoodmoulds. The windows are detailed with stone mullions and stop-chamfered arrises.

On the principal (north) elevation, there is a deep-set doorcase beneath a consoled canopy, leading to a two-leaf panelled timber door at the center of the ground floor. This door forms a stepped link between the flanking bays, each featuring a rectangular-plan tripartite window with a cornice and blocking course. The first floor has a bipartite window at the center and tripartite windows in the outer bays. To the outer right, there is a low flat-roofed garage that slightly projects, with a similar pedestrian door extension beyond, providing access to the upper floor.

The west elevation has a small piend-roofed projection at the center of the first floor, with a tripartite window on the return to the left. The east elevation features a flat-roofed projection at the ground level with a single window at the center of the first floor.

The villa has plate glass glazing in timber sash and case windows, and is topped with grey slates. The wallhead stacks are made of coped ashlar with cans, and the eaves are deeply overhanging. Decorative cast-iron downpipes with rainwater hoppers are also present.

Inside, there is a part-glazed screen door with leaded flanking lights, a timber-panelled hall, corniced doors, and timber fireplaces.

The boundary walls are made of coped ashlar, complemented by large rectangular-plan gatepiers.
