Editing Charles Rennie Mackintosh (section)

==Career and family==
Mackintosh entered the architectural profession in 1884 as an apprentice to [[John Hutchinson (architect)|John Hutchinson]] in Glasgow and in the evenings studied at Glasgow School of Art (situated then in Sauchiehall Street) where he became a prize-winning student. In 1889 he joined [[Honeyman and Keppie]] ([[John Honeyman (architect)|John Honeyman]] and [[John Keppie]]), a major architectural practice as a draughtsman and designer, where in 1901 he became a partner.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/architect_full.php?id=200362 | title=Dictionary of Scottish Architects – DSA Architect Biography Report (July 15, 2022, 2:19 am) | access-date=14 September 2009 | archive-date=25 February 2021 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210225023213/http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/architect_full.php?id=200362 | url-status=dead }}</ref>

His early design work as a draughtsman and lead designer can be seen from 1893 in the interior of [[Craigie Hall]], Dumbreck, and in the new saloon and gallery of [[Glasgow Art Club]], 185 Bath Street for which he signed the drawings.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/architect_full.php?id=200362 | title=Dictionary of Scottish Architects – DSA Architect Biography Report (July 15, 2022, 2:19 am) | access-date=14 September 2009 | archive-date=25 February 2021 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210225023213/http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/architect_full.php?id=200362 | url-status=dead }}</ref>

Around 1892, Mackintosh met fellow artist [[Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh|Margaret Macdonald]] at the [[Glasgow School of Art]]. He and fellow student [[Herbert MacNair]], also an apprentice at Honeyman and Keppie, were introduced to Margaret and her sister [[Frances MacDonald]] by the head of the Glasgow School of Art, [[Francis Henry Newbery]], who saw similarities in their work.<ref name=BBCScotland>{{cite news|last1=Panther|first1=Patricia|title=Margaret MacDonald: the talented other half of Charles Rennie Mackintosh|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/arts/margaret_macdonald_the_talented_other_half_of_charles_rennie_mackintosh.shtml|access-date=4 December 2014|work=BBC Scotland|date=10 January 2011}}</ref> Margaret and Charles married on 22 August 1900.<ref name="MainsStreet">{{cite web |title=MX.04 Interiors for 120 Mains Street |url=http://www.mackintosh-architecture.gla.ac.uk/catalogue/pdf/MX.04.pdf |access-date=4 December 2014 |website=Mackintosh Architecture: Context, Making and Meaning |publisher=University of Glasgow}}</ref> The couple had no children.<ref name="society">{{cite web | url=https://www.crmsociety.com/about-mackintosh/faqs/ |title=Frequently Asked Questions | website=Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society |access-date=21 November 2020}}</ref> MacNair and Frances also married the previous year. The group worked collaboratively and came to be known as "{{Interlanguage link|The Four (artists)|Fr|The Four|lt=The Four}}", and were prominent figures in [[Glasgow Style]] art and design. Mackintosh and Margaret married, setting up their first home in Mains Street on [[Blythswood Hill]], the street later being renamed as Blythswood Street, Glasgow.<ref>Graeme Smith (2021)'', Glasgow's Blythswood.''</ref> Subsequently, they moved to Southpark Avenue, close to Glasgow University.

In the early 1910s the partnership known from 1901 as Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh declined in profitability, and in 1913 Mackintosh resigned from the partnership and attempted to open his own practice.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/architect_full.php?id=200362 | title=Dictionary of Scottish Architects – DSA Architect Biography Report (July 15, 2022, 2:19 am) | access-date=14 September 2009 | archive-date=25 February 2021 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210225023213/http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/architect_full.php?id=200362 | url-status=dead }}</ref>
