The Buildings of Ireland, Cork City and County - Frank Keohane

A comprehensive guide to the architectural riches of Ireland’s largest county, including Cork city.

Many of the highlights are in Cork city, where the Georgian streets and quays are diversified by grand Neoclassical public buildings such as G.R. Pain’s Court House of the 1830s. The city’s later buildings include two of international importance: St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, by the celebrated Gothic revival designer William Burges, and the American architect Barry Byrne’s iconoclastic 1930s church of Christ the King.
