The owner who transformed the building, was a W J Bassett-Lowke who took a normal terrace house, extended it and completely remodelled and decorated it with designs by Charles Rennie Mackintosh starting in 1916
Rennie Mackintosh has a distinctive style, part of the Art Nouveau movement, he was a designer, artist and architect. He is best known for his work in Scotland particularly the Glasgow area. Here are a couple of pictures I took way back in 1997.
78 Derngate is the only house he designed outside of his native Scotland. The work was commissioned in the middle of World War I when Mackintosh’s other work had dried up so the commission was very welcome
