Scope and Content Kilnside House, Seedhill Road, Paisley, Renfrewshire (now demolished) Kilnside House, a large mansion standing within extensive grounds to the south-east of Paisley, was built c.1836 by Joseph Whitehead, and altered and extended in the 1880s by its then owner, Stewart Clark. The photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere, was commissioned to photograph the house in 1890. This two-storeyed Georgian villa has a single-storeyed extension to the rear (left), and a Victorian conservatory wing at one side (right). The entrance façade has a large pedimented porch, supported by four Ionic columns, and the basement is screened from view by stone balustrades with built-in stone seats. Stewart Clark, MP for the Burgh of Paisley, was a partner in the firm of Clark & Company, the Paisley cotton thread manufacturers who operated from Seedhill Mills. In 1896 the company amalgamated with J & P Coats, a rival firm of threadmakers, to become the world's largest threadworks. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
