Window seat in the Drawing Room, Hill House, Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute.
Hill House was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh for the publisher, William Blackie. This photograph, taken in 1904 by Harry Bedford Lemere, provides a unique record of Mackintosh's original stylistic design for the room.
The walls are subdivided vertically by bands of silver with stylised roses arranged between. The rose provides the theme of the lights above the window seat, and the deep bay window, covered by gossamer-thin curtains, allows south light to flood the room.
Hill House, now owned by The National Trust for Scotland, has become one of the West of Scotland's most popular tourist attractions. The Trust, using evidence from photographs and paint scrapes, has done much to restore its original interior decoration.
