Scope and Content Detail of tiling in entrance vestibule of former Paisley Co-operative building, 25-9 Causeyside Street, Paisley, Renfrewshire Paisley grew up around the abbey which was founded here in 1219, and it was created a burgh of barony under the abbot in 1488. The town grew rapidly in the 19th century when it became a centre for thread manufacture and weaving. In 1860 the Paisley Provident Co-operative Society was established. This was a union of organisations producing and distributing goods and sharing the profits equally amongst members. New offices and a meeting hall were built in 1907-8. These offices were designed by Robert Miller in an Art Nouveau style. The entrance vestibule was decoratively tiled by J Duncan Limited of Glasgow, using typically Art Nouveau patterns - mainly sinuous plant-like shapes based on the water lily.
