<p><span>Meeting point: 219 Sauchiehall Street </span><span>Sainsbury's local, 219 Sauchiehall Street, G2 3EX</span></p>
<p><span><br /></span><span>Learn how Mackintosh transformed Sauchiehall Street elevations for Miss Cranston's finest Tea Room, see where he lived with Margaret Macdonald, and his work for the Lady Artists Club in Blythswood Square.</span></p>
<p><span><span>This short walk, led by conservation specialists at Simpson and Brown Architects involved in the transformation of Miss Cranston's most important Tea Rooms, will highlight just how significant Mackintosh's influence was on this Sauchiehall Street building. </span></span></p>
<p><span><span>While the interiors are being conserved, and therefore inaccessible, the walk will highlight Mackintosh's work to the outside of the building: from stencilling the site hoardings, which he claimed to have done himself, rising at 6am, to work on the designs. At the rear of the building, a chimney reminiscent of those at the Hill House in Helensburgh will be pointed out among his other alterations here too, before moving on the the site of the flat where Mackintosh lived in 1903 with his wife Margaret McDonald. The walk will conclude with a visit to the doorway which Makintosh re-modelled for the Lady Artists Club, in Blythswood Square.</span></span></p>
