The Mackintosh house is an extension to the original Hunterian Art Gallery on Hillhead Street off University Avenue in Glasgow. It is a replica of the Glasgow house Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife Margaret Macdonald.

The house’s facade on Hillhead Street:-

Lower window and door. The door here is obviously not accessible. Entry is from inside the Art Gallery:-

The “house” is externally rendered in concrete. Glasgow University buildings in background:-

Glasgow University’s Reading Room is on University Avenue, Glasgow:-

It is circular in shape but it’s really only the entrance doors and facade which look Deco. The rest is more like a post-war 1950s/60s building:-

None of these are signature buildings but they are pleasant to come across.

I found this one on Great Western Road. There seems to be a garden on its roof. Probably accidentally.

When it was The Botanic Gardens Garage – you can just about make out the wordage above the doorway on the left by the Arnold Clark sign – I once hired a car from this one (in nineteen hundred and long time ago.) It’s just off Byres Road, on Vinicombe Street, opposite the Salon Cinema as was.

These two are cheek by jowl on Byres Road itself, down past University Avenue. It’s mainly the lettering that’s deco. The chippie is excellent. I can’t remember ever going into the cafe. I suspect they have the same proprietor, though. They are well placed for trade from students. As is most of Byres Road to be fair.
