Parker's Buildings, Chester

Parker's Buildings is a block of flats off the north side of Foregate Street (numbered 115), Chester, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.
==History==

The flats were built in 1888–89 for the 1st Duke of Westminster. Their building was supervised by the Duke's nephew and agent, Cecil Parker, and named after him.〔 They were intended for the Duke's employees when they retired from working for him on his Eaton Hall estate. They were designed by the Chester firm of architects Douglas & Fordham and based on flats being built for the working-class in London. To this end Douglas was sent to study the Stalbridge Buildings in London which were being developed by the Improved Industrial Dwellings Company. Douglas' relationship with Parker was never harmonious, and when the block of flats was completed, Parker complained about "poor materials and workmanship". The building still stands and continues to be used as flats, having been refurbished in 1982 by S. J. Lomas for the Northern Counties Housing Association.〔 Douglas' biographer, Edward Hubbard, states that this design is a "rare departure from his usual building types".〔
