Colour photograph of Pinehurst

Under the name 'Pinehurst', 1 Camstradden Drive East, Bearsden, has been attributed to Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh. 1 There is, however, no record of this house in any surviving documents or drawings associated with the firm or with Mackintosh alone. Historic O.S. maps reveal that this single-storey, Tudor-influenced Arts and Crafts house was originally named 'Newstead': it was designed by Glasgow architect William Hunter McNab, partner of William Leiper, and completed by 1914. 2

Photographs or drawings of 'Newstead' were exhibited at the Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts in 1914. In 1915, photographs of the house were exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy and published in the July volume of Academy Architecture and Architectural Review. The house was also illustrated in the Builder in 1915. 3 Comparison of the 1915 photographs with the house now named 'Pinehurst' proves they are same building.

Authorship: The house has been misattributed to Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh. It is the work of William Hunter McNab. 4
