Remember my password on this computer.To the great museums of the world, there must now be added one other. Just opened, this is the most delightful museum you will ever see. It is also the smallest.Just to accommodate the public, the borough council had to buy next door, No80, and, when that proved not to be enough, the chairman of the museum's trustees, Keith Barwell , bought No82 as well. Comedy hovers about this enterprise, in its beginnings a bleak comedy. No78, to quote Mr Barwell, is " a pokey little terrace house", empty for the past 10 years, ever since its last occupant, a girls' school to which it had been an annexe, had no further use for it.
Before that it was the office of a wine company. So this is something that people once passed without a glance but are now queuing to see... what?They are queuing to see a house conversion done almost 100 years ago, at the height of the massacres on the Somme. The man who did this, a Glasgow architect, was then at the end of his tether, which was why, unable to get any other commissions, he took on this, to try to create some space for a young married couple in their starter home. Unable to find anything else because of an acute housing shortage, they had moved into this brick toothpick, in the rooms of which four people standing up at the same time would induce acute claustrophobia. It was also his last commission.Ahead of him lay alcoholism, and an early death, but the President of the Immortals had not done with Charles Rennie Mackintosh . When No78 was being made ready for the public, the latticed wooden screen he had built in a front room the size of a larder was treated nervously by workmen.
That screen is now thought to be worth £1 million.Yet in 1916, when the magazine Ideal Home carried an article ("Now and Then. A Transformation" ) about the house soon after its conversion, Mackintosh's name was not mentioned once. He was Yesterday's Man.But the young couple who moved in, a Mr and Mrs Bassett-Lowke, would probably have talked of nothing but a man who, for all practical purposes, had moved in with them. As Keith Barwell said, "This was someone who wanted to design everything down to the colour of your loo paper. You had to be crackers to let Mackintosh loose on your house. Think of the three of them there in that terrible year, Mackintosh in decline but his will as absolute as ever, young Bassett-Lowke who, in another bizarre touch, was about to emerge as the greatest model train maker there has ever been in England, and also of Mrs Bassett-Lowke. Shadowy beside the other two, she, unlike them, as a housewife had to spend her days in No78, which is where the comedy quickens.
That tiny front room, screen, ceiling and all, Mackintosh had painted black, to produce "spaciousness and mystery". Mrs Bassett-Lowke put up with it for two years, then got Mackintosh's permission to paint it grey. Conservators came on this grey under the cream it was painted after Mackintosh's death, and then, beneath this, like Nilotic mud, the black itself. This is now there again, so if that nervous Controlling Will were to come through the front door (which then opened directly into the front room), he would see that all was as before in No78. For his wallpaper is up, that golden yellow with the triangular motifs of green, vermilion and blue, which, against the black, must have been a sunburst as you stepped in from the street. And the furniture is back that Mackintosh designed as well, though not the originals. With the clock from the guest bedroom in the British Museum, and the chairs dispersed like the booty of Troy in the V&A, Northampton's Central Museum and the Hunterian , it would have stretched the resources of the Getty Museum just to reassemble the contents of No78.So what is it like going round?
You come in through No82, then pass into No80, which is where the delight begins, for on show are Bassett-Lowke's toys, things so exquisite that a Phoenician galley is to a scale of 1:1,200. And then the model boats and trains that featured in the childhoods of the very rich, and in the dreams of the rest of us. From here you pass into No78.The thing that hits you first is the sheer practicality of everything that Mackintosh did here, for he was no longer the young man determined to replace Victorian clutter with art nouveau. This was someone concerned with space, and now that No80, its mirror image, with its passageway and even tinier rooms, has been gutted you will not be able to appreciate what he did here.In 78 he did away with the passageway, then turned the staircase through 90 degrees, hiding this behind the screen. The result is that the stairs became a vertical corridor. And everywhere you look the storage space is extraordinary, with tiny cupboards and alcoves and sliding panels, even the tilted coal and log scuttles fitting into the woodwork.
This is not just an aesthetic statement, it is common sense bordering on genius Of course it was the aesthetic statement that briefly fascinated Northampton, before it sturdily forgot all about No78. When George Bernard Shaw stayed in the guest bedroom, a local reporter door-stepped the house until Shaw emerged, just to ask him how he had slept. "With my eyes shut," said Shaw.For the bedroom, now reassembled in every detail in the Hunterian Art Gallery in Glasgow, had black and white vertical stripes streaming up behind two single beds and along the ceiling. The beds, along with the settle downstairs, are replicas, copied by craftsmen from the Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College in High Wycombe. Only the bath and a table, traced through various sales, are original. A wash basin, made in 1918, and thus an approximation to what was here, was shipped from California According to Dr Sylvia Pinches , the museum curator, extraordinary discoveries were made in the course of reconstruction.
The original curtain material in the front room was found by the textiles conservator in a Heals' sample book which itself was in the archives of the V&A. The Ayrshire firm of Morton Young & Borland , makers of the net curtains in the dining room, being found to be still in business, it was, as Dr Pinches put it, a simple matter of placing a second order with them after 90 years. Beyond the house everything has changed. The green hills the Bassett-Lowkes would have looked out on have disappeared under the anonymity of modern housing estates, and the neighbours have long gone, for this is a town centre, which, like all town centres in the late 20th century, with houses converted into dentists' surgeries and the offices of solicitors, became unreal. .uk) is open daily except Fridays, 10am-4pm; being so small, it requires booking for guided tours. concessions £3.50, family of four, £13.50.
