Designer mansion
House on the Hill (or Hill House) in Helensburgh near Glasgow, Scotland, is one of the most famous buildings by Scottish architect, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Designed and built by custom publisher Walter Blackie in 1904. Mackintosh designed the interior rooms and furniture and other details. Mackintosh's architectural design was revolutionary and not everyone appreciated his talent, which was not the case of Walter Blackie who was aware of the architect's potential, whose work has been recognized worldwide. After Blackie's death in the 50s the house was sold. In 1982 the house was donated to the National Trust of Scotland, which turned it into a museum.
