Craigie Hall was recorded by RCAHMS Threatened Buildings Survey in February 2014 prior to the proposed conversion of the house into three linked dwellings for an extended family. These works also proposed the removal of the organ case designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh from the music room the interior of which he also designed. Much of the elaborate Victorian interior of this large Glasgow villa survives and was recorded. This record also contributed to the Mackintosh Architecture Project Context Making and Meaning an AHRC funded research project at University of Glasgow which has produced the Mackintosh Architecture web based catalogue.
