Martyr's School, Townhead, Glasgow.

Constructed in 1895, this is an early work by Charles Rennie MacKintosh. The general outline of the building follows the requirements of the Glasgow School Board, who commissioned it, but there are plenty of distinctive MacKintosh flourishes, including the classic Glasgow-style ogee domes on the spirelets.

Queen's Cross Church, Maryhill, Glasgow.

Designed by Charles Rennie MacKintosh in a Gothic Style with a Glasgow twist, it was built in the late 1890s while MacKintosh was still just an architectural assistant.

A plaque marking the birthplace of Charles Rennie MacKintosh, probably Glasgow's most famous architect, in the Townhead area of the city in June 1868. In the 1890s, MacKintosh returned to the area to design the Saint Martyr's school which would have been visible from the tenement where he was born. While the school remains, the tenement itself is now long gone.

Charles Rennie MacKintosh's Martyr's School in Townhead, Glasgow, as seen from Castle Street.

Built in 1895 for the Glasgow School Board, it was built using snecked red sandstone blocks and Glasgow-style details to give it a distinctive appearance.

Inside the main hall of architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh's superb Hill House in Helensburgh. Completed late in 1903, it is widely believed to be one of the finest private houses built anywhere in the world in the 20th Century.

Brass lamps in the reconstructed interior of Charles Rennie MacKintosh's home in Glasgow University. These are almost identical to some of the lamps hanging in MacKintosh's Queen's Cross Church in Maryhill.

The Nolly Brig over the Forth and Clyde Canal by Firhill Stadium in Glasgow, with its mural inspired by Charles Rennie MacKintosh's 1922 water colour called Sailing Ships. The bridge was built with European Regional Development Fund (from the EU) and was opened in 1990. The mural was added in 2019 by Art Pistol Projects.

For me, this has always been one of the weirdest buildings in Glasgow. What at first looks like some sort of strange concrete and roughcast pastiche of a traditional Glasgow tenement with a front door floating in mid-air turns out, on closer inspection, to be nothing but a new wrapper for the re-constructed interior of the flat shared by Charles and Margaret Mackintosh on Southpark Avenue between 1906 and 1914.

The Greek-style portico of the south wing of Lilybank House in the west end of Glasgow. The original classical-style villa was built in 1850, while this south wing was added by Alexander 'Greek' Thomson in the 1860s.

Interestingly, a north wing was added later another highly influential firm of Glasgow architects: Honeyman Keppie and MacKintosh.

The former Daily Record Building, Renfield Lane in Glasgow.

Designed by Charles Rennie MacKintosh in an Art Nouveau style and built in the first years of the 1900s, I especially like the use of glazed bricks to reflect light into this otherwise dark and narrow lane.

MacKintosh's Queen's Cross Church in Glasgow as viewed from Springbank Street. I love the way it continuously steps up towards the main frontage on Garscube Road.

Ruchill Parish Church Halls on Shakespeare Street in Glasgow. Designed by Charles Rennie MacKintosh and built in 1899. Considered by some to be a minor work by MacKintosh, to me this is a real gem and shows he could work just as well on a small scale as a grand one.

The courtyard and turret staircase of Ruchill Parish Church Halls and Janitor's House. Just from these lines alone, you'd bet these were designed by Charles Rennie MacKintosh, and you'd be right. It may not be as famous as the Queens Cross Church just up the road, but this is still a real gem of a MacKintosh building and well worth checking out if you're into all things CRM.

The former premises of T & R Annan and Sons, Photographers and Fine Arts Dealers on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. It was designed by John Keppie (of Honeyman and Keppie) in an Early Renaissance style and was built in 1903.

An alternative version of the facade, with three statues rather than two, was drawn by Charles Rennie MacKintosh, but was not used.

This is an interesting addition to 12 Clairmont Gardens in the west end of Glasgow. It originally consisted of a billiard room on the upper floor, with a laundry and a coal store on the lower floor. Dating from 1898, it was designed by John Honeyman and Keppie, with draughtsmanship by a young Charles Rennie MacKintosh.

Brass lantern, Queen's Cross Church, Glasgow. Designed by Charles Rennie MacKintosh. Just love the shape and the lines of this lamp.
