ARCHITECTURE
The Isle of Man contains many interesting buildings for the discerning resident or visitor to enjoy, with distinctive vernacular cottages, three castles (two built for defence, one built as a Ducal residence), works by historically significant architects such as MH Baillie Scott, Frank Matcham and Armitage Rigby, and other distinctive buildings produced through architectural competitions, especially in that Edwardian-to-Victorian era when many new buildings were commissioned. This book provides an introduction to this range of buildings stretching from the earliest surviving structures right up to the present.
