History
The building was generously donated by Agnes Russell to the Burgh of Paisley as a memorial to her two brothers, Thomas and Robert Russell, who passed away in 1913 and 1920 respectively. Initially, it served as a child welfare clinic, but today, Renfrewshire Council utilizes it as a multi purpose facility. This historic building is protected and listed as Category A listed building.{{Historic Environment Scotland|num=LB38944|desc=Causeyside Street Russell Institute|cat=A|access-date=27 March 2019}}{{Canmore |num=197689 |desc=Paisley, 30 Causeyside Street, Russell Institute|access-date=18 August 2014|fewer-links=yes}}
