Kirk and Parry of Jermyn Street are listed in directories from the
mid C19. William Kirk of Nottingham (1749-1823) was followed in the
profession by his son and grandson (both named Charles) as Kirk and
Son or in-association with Parry.
Kirk and-Parry also had a flour mill off Jermyn Street but this
particular building may have served as the office for their
architectural work.
