Mackintosh House (What Is That?)

Right, so the picture posted last Monday wasn’t the face of a four-eyed monster. If you have ever seen any of the furniture designed by Glasgow’s very own Charles Rennie Mackintosh, you would have quickly recognized the photo as a detail of one of his works.

To be more precise, the detail was of the door of the Mackintosh House on Library Hill, attached to the Hunterian Art Gallery. Anyone care to take a stab at why the door is so high off the ground? And if the vertical slit on the door is the mailbox, how do you fit anything through it?
