Craigie Hall , also spelled Craigiehall , is a mansion in the Scottish city of Glasgow . In 1978 the structure was included in the Scottish monument lists in the highest monument category A.
history
The villa was completed in 1872. The client was Joseph McLean , who commissioned the Scottish architect John Honeyman with the design. The total cost was £ 9,753. Around 1892, the new owner, John Mason, had the interior redesigned. Based on the details, the design is attributed to Charles Rennie Mackintosh , who at the time was working as an apprentice in the commissioned architecture firm Honeyman & Keppie . The work cost £ 2,719. The £ 565 redesign of the music room in 1898 was carried out securely by Macintosh. He was also responsible for the additions in 1908. In 1980 Craigie Hall was restored.
Since its completion, the villa has been the subject of four books.
