This pair of red sandstone semi-detached houses was built for Mackintosh's cousin, a carting contractor. He lived in one and let the other.

Authorship: The houses were published as early works of Mackintosh by Thomas Howarth in 1952. The attribution seems to have been a family tradition. No documentation has been discovered to confirm it.
