Partnership formed in late 1898 or early 1899 between WILLIAM KAYE-PARRY WILLIAM KAYE-PARRY and GEORGE MURRAY ROSS GEORGE MURRAY ROSS . The partners established their practice at 63 Dawson Street, Dublin, and in 1900 opened a London branch office at 53 Victoria St, Wesminster, taking on an English engineer, P.F. Mackenzie Richards, to look after the English side of the business. In 1914 they entered the Design for the Town Plan of Dublin competition promoted by the Civic Institute of Ireland. Adjudication did not take place until 1916, when they were awarded an honourable mention; at the accompanying Civic Exhibition, where all the entries were placed on public view, they received a silver medal.
In 1925 Kaye-Parry and Ross took their assistant, ARNOLD HENDY ARNOLD HENDY , into partnership, whereupon the practice became known as KAYE-PARRY ROSS & KAYE-PARRY ROSS & amp; HENDY HENDY . Ross died in 1927, Kaye-Parry in 1932, while Hendy carried on the practice under the same name until his own death in March 1958.
Pupils and assistants in the office included FRANCIS EDWIN DRAPER. FRANCIS EDWIN DRAPER.
Addresses: 63 Dawson St, 1899-1906; 48 Kildare St, from 1908.
