Powerful sandstone block with dark, woody interior - save the bright chicken run high up on the south facade - perched on a steep incline. This is a building of global importance, recorded in most Histories of 20th Century Architecture. Powerful influence for Art Nouveau and later for Modernism. southwest view © Adrian Welch Hill House, Upper Colquhoun Street, Helensburgh, north-west of Glasgow 1904 photo © Adrian Welch Hill House was designed for publisher Walter Blackie. After the Glasgow Art School, Hill House is one of Rennie Mackintosh's best known works. Mackintosh's style is often seen as not only related to fin-de-siecle Art Nouveau but to the burgeoning Modern Architecture movement. This Mackintosh work typically works with the Scottish traditional architecture, often referred to as the Scots Baronial, the rustic architecture of towers and crow steps. photograph © Adrian Welch House for an Art Lover, Bellahouston Park, Glasgow 1901; realised 1989-96 building image from Rennie Mackintosh Tours Charles Rennie Mackintosh building constructed to his original plans in Bellahouston Park, Glasgow.
