Russell Institute, Category A listed healthcare building in Paisley, Scotland
The Russell Institute is a Category A listed building in Paisley featuring a three-story stone facade adorned with bronze sculptures and ornate architectural details. Located on Causeyside Street, it showcases carefully crafted stonework and decorative elements across all exterior surfaces.
Agnes Russell donated the building to Paisley in 1927 as a memorial to her brothers Thomas and Robert, establishing it as a child welfare clinic. The institution supported medical care and child welfare in the region from that time forward.
The structure reflects Scottish architectural heritage through its detailed stonework and serves as a protected building of category significance.
Since a comprehensive restoration in 2017, the building now functions as a Skills and Employability Hub housing Skills Development Scotland offices. Visitors should know that this is primarily a working center with regular office hours.
The building was funded by a private donor whose name it bears, honoring the memory of her late brothers through this gift. This personal story remains woven into the building's identity and naming.
