Bio Notes: Isaac Taylor was born in 1871, the son of the Manchester architect J Medland Taylor.

He inherited his father's practice on the latter's death in 1909. Although he engaged one or two very able assistants his own time was generally of 'a voluntary nature', especially for the Church of England Waifs and Strays Society, converting old mansions for their new purpose. Soon after the beginning of World War I he shared an office with Frank B Dunkerley. After the war he went into partnership with W Cecil Young.

He died on 28 July 1948.
