78 Derngate in Northampton is known as the 'Mackintosh House' after Charles Rennie Mackintosh, a talented architect from Glasgow. The house was originally built in 1820. In 1916 Mackintosh was asked to remodel the house for its new owner Wenman Joseph Bassett Lowke, a local model maker and engineer.

This was the last house design Rennie Mackintosh did, working in a bold new style, using primary colours and geometric motifs. It is Mackintosh's only major commission outside Scotland.
