At the Hill House – Mackintosh and MacDonald fused architecture and artistry to create a happy family home for the Blackie family. But the technical and fabric problems of the construction emerged relatively shortly after its completion in 1904. In 2019 the Box was erected to cover and allow time for the its considered repair. The presentation will cover the planned conservation works at the Hill House, the Trust's second Mackintosh property since the acquisition in January 2024 of the Mackintosh Tea Rooms - on Sauchiehall St.
