Hawk & Parr

Hawk & Parr was an architectural firm in Oklahoma. It designed many buildings that are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Its Mission/Spanish Revival style Casa Grande Hotel, for example, was built in 1928 and was listed on the National Register in 1995.[1]

It was a partnership of James Watson Hawk (born 1864),[2] also known as J.W. Hawk, and Josepheus O. Parr (died 1940),[3] also known as J.O. Parr. Hawk had worked as an architect in Oklahoma City since 1905; Parr arrived in 1911; the partnership ran from 1914 to 1932 when Hawk retired.[4]
