Giant box over Mackintosh Hill House to be removed
The chainmail box around Hill House has been in place since 2019 to protect it from the rain.
www.bbc.co.ukI don’t have live access to current news sources in this moment. Based on recent coverage up to 2024–2025, The Hill House (Charles Rennie Mackintosh) near Helensburgh has been the focus of ongoing conservation work under the National Trust for Scotland, including a protective “box” shelter to shield the building from rain while restoration and drying out of damp walls progress. Updates since then have emphasized fundraising efforts, technical assessments of construction methods, and plans to progress internal conservation and public interpretation when conditions allow. If you’d like, I can pull the latest headlines for you and summarize them with citations.
