ABSTRACT Since its completion in 1904, the Hill House in Helensburgh (Scotland) designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh has suffered from the effects of moisture penetration. Various owners have attempted to remedy the problem with limited success. In 2019 the current owner, the National Trust for Scotland, took the bold step to cover the entire building in a contemporary structure, the Big Box, in order to arrest water ingress, buy time to develop a solution, and engage with the public over this conservation dilemma. This paper explores the technical and philosophical issues that finding a solution presents, and outlines what effects the water ingress has had on the collections and interior decorations. It explores the approaches taken to date with the management of the exterior and interior surfaces of the building, and the environmental management strategy adopted as one element of a solution. It additionally notes that changes to Mackintosh’s original decorative scheme, which included furniture, fixtures and fittings, have occurred over time, and discusses the Trust’s approach to managing the collections in this iconic building.
