While Charles Rennie Mackintosh now gets most of the credit for creating the distinctive Glasgow Style in the late 1800s, James Salmon Jnr and John Gaff Gillespie were just as influential. In fact, the three of them all studied architecture at the Glasgow School or Art around the same time, and Gillespie won the Glasgow Institute of Architects prize alongside Mackintosh ih in 1889.

As such, and this may prove controversial, I often feel Salmon and Gillespie should probably get equal billing alongside Mackintosh when it comes to creating this architectural style (just as Margaret MacDonald, Mackintosh's wife should probably get equal billing when it comes to its interior design elements).
