![]() | M002 Alterations to Camis Eskan, CraigendoranAddress: Craigendoran, Helensburgh G84 7JZDate: 1888–9; 1894–6; 1914 Client: William Middleton Campbell Authorship: ![]() |
The mansion of Camis Eskan was built in 1648, and remodelled in 1840 by David Hamilton. John Honeyman, and later John Honeyman & Keppie and Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh, were employed there on a number of occasions, but none of their drawings appears to survive, and it is not clear from the practice job books exactly what they did. A major remodelling by A. N. Paterson in 1915, followed by conversion to apartments in 1979, has further complicated the picture.
Authorship: Mackintosh took measurements of the house in 1894, in connection with alterations carried out in 1894–6, but it is not known if he contributed to the design of these alterations.
Alternative names: Colgrain House.
