The period from around 1880 to 1940 was a golden age and a golden time for architects in Paisley.
During this time many of Paisley’s old streets and cottages disappeared to be replaced by Victorian buildings and tenements.
Wealthy merchants and industrialists wanted to display their wealth and employed some of Paisley’s best architects to build private villas in Castlehead, Thornly Park and Stanely Road area.
