Church History

The Paisley Methodist Central Hall is situated in Paisley Town Centre, opposite Paisley Abbey and Paisley Town Hall.

Paisley Methodist Central Hall is an imposing Edwardian building in the Free Renaissance style designed by architects Watson and Salmond and constructed in 1908.

Methodist Central Halls were intended to provide facilities for wholesome entertainment as well as worship. The building is one of the few remaining central halls still in use by the Methodist Church and the only one in Scotland.

The three storey building, finished in an ashlar bond, comprises a series of halls and shops. Gauze Street has eight bays and eleven in Smithhills street. Flanking either side of the door are pairs of shops with original frontages. The first and second floors of both street frontages have decorative stone furnishing and ornate window casements.
