Day 326: House for an Art Lover

 
 
In 1901 Charles Rennie Mackintosh, now Glasgow’s most famous architect,
entered a German-based competition to design a ‘Grand Residence for an Art Lover’
 
It wasn't until 1987 that Glasgow civil engineer Graham Roxburgh conceived
and developed the idea of building the House for an Art Lover,
from the competition drawings, on a site he had identified in
Bellahouston Park, Glasgow & the house was built in 1990.
