Glasgow Arts Club Bath Street Blythswood Hill

The Glasgow Arts Club was founded in 1867. It currently resides at 185 Bath Street. 

 

During the 19th century the club was originally to be found at 151 Bath Street but moved to 185 Bath Street when two townhouses were converted by John Keppie. The club formally opened in 1893. 

The young Charles Rennie Mackintosh was involved in some of the decorative details, and also a mural for the club.
