\n He said: \u201cThe Ruchill Church Halls display Mackintosh’s trademark style and his art nouveau motifs are scattered throughout the building.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWith stained glass windows and flower patterns etched in the doors, the design resembles that of the Art School.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cRuchill was designed at the start of Mackintosh\u2019s extraordinary creative period from 1895-1906, which includes nearby Queen\u2019s Cross Church (1897-9), The Glasgow School of Art (1897\u20139), the Arts and Crafts Exhibition in London and his first work for Miss Cranston.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe buildings of Charles Rennie Mackintosh form a major component in the nation\u2019s cultural heritage and are celebrated internationally.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe Society plays a major role in promoting the Mackintosh legacy and acts as a guardian to safeguard and conserve the buildings for future generations.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe legacy is small, vulnerable, and irreplaceable.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Mackintosh Halls, located on Shakespeare Street in Ruchill, will officially go on the market “towards the end…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":361998,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3939],"tags":[4021,4020,4022,77,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-362781","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-design","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=362781"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362781\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/361998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=362781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=362781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=362781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
