Built as the new nurses' home for the projected Paisley Maternity Hospital, later built on the Riccartsbar site. The plans for a new maternity hospital site were first drawn up before the 2nd World War, but were revised to suit post war conditions and shortage of materials. In the end, only the nurses' home was built of the scheme which would have more than doubled the hospital accommodation on the site.
