W J Barre, 1830-1867: A Vigorous Mind

£28.00

Author: Dr Paul Harron

The architect William Joseph Barre (1830-1867), a native of Newry, Co. Down, who moved his practice to a burgeoning Belfast in 1860, was one of Ulster’s very best Victorian designers. His body of work is worthy of capture and is celebrated anew in this comprehensive, beautifully illustrated monograph by Dr Paul Harron.

Distinctive, original, eclectic, sometimes quirky, often dramatic and in a range of different styles, the architects’ building designs form some of the richest components of the built environment in Ulster from the High Victorian period.
