Parker's Buildings, Chester

Parker's Buildings is a block of flats off the north side of Foregate Street (numbered 115), Chester, Cheshire, England.

[3] They were designed by the Chester firm of architects Douglas & Fordham and based on flats being built for the working-class in London.

[4] To this end Douglas was sent to study the Stalbridge Buildings in London which were being developed by the Improved Industrial Dwellings Company.

[1] Douglas' biographer, Edward Hubbard, states that this design is a "rare departure from his usual building types".

Each includes a shop at ground level and above this the buildings are in red brick with blue diapering, stone dressings and shaped gables.
