description
The five-story building is on Seedhill Road west of Paisley town center. It was built between 1899 and 1900 to a design by the architect William James Morley . The windows are arranged on 18 vertical axes. These are lattice windows , each made up of six individual panes. The two outer windows on the top floor, which are made as twin windows with round arches, are an exception. The individual floors are set off with decorative ribbons. The building is covered by four parallel hipped roofs .
On both ends, narrow towers tower over the spinning mill. They are illuminated on three sides by arched windows. The west tower ends with a slate-covered pyramid roof and a copper-covered dome with a square floor plan. The east tower ends with a dome with an octagonal floor plan, which covers a copper-clad, faceted cap. After the cessation of spinning operations, the building was rebuilt and now houses office space.
