(Office)

John Honeyman & Keppie made drawings for unspecified alterations to the home of Dr John Crombie in North Berwick. The client paid for this preparatory work, but no further work appears to have been carried out. 1

Authorship: This is one of over 270 jobs carried out in the office of John Honeyman & Keppie (Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh from 1901) during Mackintosh's time there. Mackintosh undoubtedly worked on many of these, but there is no specific evidence for his involvement in this case.

Alternative addresses:: Melbourne Villa, Melbourne Park
