Baillie Scott fireplace
 | Manx Museum Accession Number - 1970-0004/1970-0003 |
Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott was born in Ramsgate in 1865 and trained as an architect. After his marriage in 1889 he moved to the Isle of Man, where he lived until 1901. Baillie Scott practiced as an architect and a number of the buildings which he designed are still extant, but he was also interested in interior design and was a contemporary of Rennie Mackintosh. Later he worked with Archibald Knox and was influential in the Art Nouveau movement. This fireplace came from Glen Falcon House, Douglas, which Scott designed. Sadly it was demolished in 1949 to facilitate a road widening scheme.
This fireplace is on display in the Manx Museum, Douglas.
