Project due to start shortly
A major renovation project on Lord Street, Douglas is due to start shortly.
The Salvation Army's Citadel, which has stood since 1932, will be demolished and rebuilt in a modern style over two years.
It's estimated to cost up to £3 million, which will mainly come from within the charity's reserves.
Work will begin pending a contract agreement - planning permission was approved two months ago.
Staff and volunteers are currently in temporary residence at the old Fairfield Primary School.
Captain Simon Clampton says it comes at a time when demand is growing for the charity's services:
More coastal overtopping expected as strong winds continue
Full lighting capability restored at Isle of Man Airport
Snaefell Mountain Railway out of action after storm damage
Council confident for Manor Pub's future
