MACKINTOSH
HOUSE
The Mackintosh House is a reconstruction of the principal
interiors from the Glasgow home of Charles Rennie Mackintosh
and Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh.
The couple lived at 78 Southpark Avenue from 1906 to 1914.
Substantial alterations were made in 1906 as Mackintosh remodelled
the proportions and natural lighting of the Victorian end
of terrace house. The principle interiors were decorated in
hi distinctive style, remarkable then, and now, for the disciplined
austerity of the furnishings and decoration.
The interiors, completed in 1981, have been furnished with
the Mackintosh's own furniture - all to Mackintosh's design
- and decorated as closely as possible to the original.
