| Description: |
78 Derngate is the only building outside Scotland designed by the famous Scottish architect-artist-designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The building itself is Georgian in age and was given to businessman Wenman Joseph Bassett-Loake by his father as a wedding present in 1916. Bassett-Loake engaged the services of Rennie Mackintosh to design and remodel his house in a very distinctive style. The house was purchased by fans of Rennie Mackintosh in the 1990s and over £1.4 million has been spent to convert this modest town house into an authentic reconstruction of its former glory. The house is open for tours everyday from 10am to 5 pm (except on Tuesdays when it's only open from 1pm to 5pm. Entrance fees are £5.50 for adults and £4.50 for concession. |
