Calling all lovers of architecture! Make sure to visit Mackintosh Queen Street in the Maryhill area of the city. This stunning building is a fine example of Mackintosh’s work and acts as a sort of hidden gem in the city. The building was originally built as a church and is in fact the only church built by Glasgow’s own and world-renowned architect. Commissioned in 1896, this magnificent structure is Gothic in style. However, it incorporated Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s famous character and style.
