The head of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society has said he is not convinced that Glasgow City Council values the architectural legacy of one of its most famous sons.
Stuart Robertson, Director of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society at Queen's Cross Church in Glasgow
"Mackintosh did the entrance [for the artists' club] and did some of the details inside." said Mr Robertson, who is on the steering group for Glasgow School of Art restoration project."The amount of rain we have now, it does so much damage and there is degrading of the stone.
He said that there were"good people" involved in plans to turn Scotland Street School into an early learning centre but progress had been affected by rising costs for building materials. The society is based in the Mackintosh Church in Garscube, perhaps one of the best maintained buildings designed by the architect because it generates revenue from a steady stream of events and weddings.
