Michael Scott’s most important pre-war commission – the Irish Pavilion for the New York World Fair.
Designed to honor the 60,000 Canadians who lost their lives in World War I and unveiled just prior to the start of World War II.
Fine stone post office, part of a streetscape of state buildings including a Garda Station from 1947 and the Social Welfare office from 1939.
The Ritz Cinema in Athlone (1939) is attributed to Scott but was in fact designed by Bill O’Dwyer who was working and studying in the office of Michael Scott at that time.
The two-story building, with the façade on First Avenue North was constructed of brick and Tyndal stone.
