Biografie
Alfred Browning Parker, FAIA (1916–2011) was a Modernist architect who is known for his post-World War II residential architecture in the region around Miami, Florida. He was born in Boston, MA and moved to Miami when he was eight years old. Parker graduated from the University of Florida in 1939 with a degree in Architecture.
Parker began his practice in Miami in 1946, designing over 500 projects. Most notable were his own homes, especially the homes he designed for himself on Royal Road and in Gables Estates as well as the home he called Woodsong, his mother's Jewel in the Treetop home, and the demolished Alliance Machine Company building (all in Coconut Grove), plus the Hope Lutheran Church on Bird Road, the General Capital Corporation building on NW 54th Street, Miamarina and Temple Beth El in West Palm Beach. He also designed the George Washington Carver Middle School (1952) and the renovation of the Coconut Grove Playhouse (1954)
Parker also served as a professor emeritus at the University of Florida School of Architecture, which became the largest repository of his architectural papers and drawings.
