I've always been intrigued by the similarities between these two buildings. On the left is a 1770s tenement on Gallowgate in Glasgow (containing the Heilan Jessie pub), while on the right is Charles Rennie MacKintosh's iconic 1902 Hill House in Helensburgh. Given that MacKintosh lived in Dennistoun until 1892, he would likely have passed the Gallowgate tenement, and I wonder if it acted as an inspiration for him.
