Paisley Town Hall


Paisley Town Hall is a municipal facility in Gauze Street, Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland. It is a Category A listed building.

History

The building was funded by the will of George Aitken Clark, one of the members of the Clark family, owners of the Anchor Mills. It was designed by William Henry Lynn and William Young in the Classical style and opened as the "George A. Clark Town Hall" in 1882. It was the headquarters of Paisley Burgh Council until it moved to Paisley Civic Centre in 1971. The chiming mechanism for the bells, which had ceased to function, was repaired in 1988.
In February 2019 proposals were announced to convert the town hall into a centre for performing arts. The works, which are being carried out by Kier Group at a cost of £22 million, commenced in summer 2019.
