 | | While a young architectural apprentice, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the son of a Glasgow policeman, attended evening classes at the Glasgow School of Art, where he met Herbert MacNair, Frances Macdonald, and her sister Margaret Macdonald (who would later become Mackintosh's wife). |
 | | His best-known commissions include a building for the Glasgow School of Art (built in two phases, 189799 and 19079) and Hill House (19024), the Walter Blackie residence in the Glasgow suburb of Helensburgh. |
 | | Miss Cranston, one of Mackintosh's most important clients, was the proprietress of a group of highly successful tearooms in Glasgow, many of which she had Mackintosh design. |
