Unlike the street facade, which was little changed, the rear of the house was subject to major reconstruction, with the back extended by some 5 feet to create space and light. Although subdued in terms of decoration, a careful study of inside and out allows one to appreciate the very modern concepts that Mackintosh brought to this makeover. Originally it would have looked similar to the house to the right; this now houses galleries relating to the work of the owner of 78, W.J.Bassett-Lowke.
