The Glasgow Herald Building in Mitchell Lane was the first building Charles Rennie Mackintosh was involved in designing. It was built 1893 - 1895 by the architectural practice of Honeyman and Keppie. While most of the design is that of the practice a

and the large tower (recalling the campanile tower in Siena/Italy he had visited two years earlier) are identified as CRM's influences. The building has now been converted to The Lighthouse, Scotland's Centre for Architecture, Design and the City. The Mackintosh
Interpretation Centre gives you opportunities to learn more about CRM's work with models of buildings and interactive touch screen displays. |
