Patrick Shaffrey

OʼBrien Press

A companion volume to the highly acclaimed "Buildings of Irish Towns", this book presents the richness and variety of the buildings that occupy Ireland's countryside. The focus is on buildings of beauty and character in everyday use -- often built of local materials and carrying the stamp of local craftsmen. Covers country estates and their cottages, gate lodges and outbuildings; houses -- thatched, slated and stone-built; schools, churches, mills, forges, railways, harbors, and lighthouses. There are "bird's eye" views of farm buildings, clearly showing their layout and historical development. In addition to 44 full-color drawings the book is illustrated with b/w drawings and photographs, plans, and elevations.
