Owen Parsons
Owen P. Parsons (22 July 1872 – 1944)[1] was an English architect who designed both speculative housing for rent and larger private commissions.[2]
Born in Balsall Heath, Birmingham, he was articled to the architect John George Bland[3] in 1893, succeeding Bland in the practice in 1898.[2] From 1902 onwards he designed a notable series of large private houses in Arts and Crafts styles in upmarket districts of Birmingham including Moseley, Kings Heath, Selly Park, Barnt Green and Four Oaks.[4] His most important surviving work is Kilmuir in Amesbury Road, Moseley, which is Grade I listed.[5]
