Queen Cross Church The Queen Cross Church, designed by distinguished architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh opened in 1899, with the first service held in 10th September of the same year. It is currently in use as the headquarters of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society. The church is he only church by the architect that has been built. (Smart, 2002) The site being on a corner plot, sandwiched by tenements and a large warehouse is a challenging plot and a simple design is required to reflect the beliefs of the Free Church.
Picture of the Queen’s Cross Church located at Maryhill Road, at the section where it used to be part of the New City Road. (Smart, 2002)
