Candelabrum

Windyhill in Kilmacolm was Charles Rennie Mackintosh's first house on the hill. Windyhill was designed by Mackintosh between 1900-1 for his client, William Davidson, a Glasgow provisions merchant, who was to become one of his most loyal patrons. It was his first significant domestic commission, and an important forerunner in its plan and architectural massing for The Hill House of 1902- 04. The house has been beautifully restored by the current owner. This is a view of the main stairwell looking towards the large candelabrum, which was re-created by Conservationist and Stained Glass Artists, Rab MacInnes and Linda Cannon.
