The studio operated under Lewis R Parks and his son Gordon Parks. Lewis started the business in 1918 or 1919 on Townsend St, but soon moved to 122 Park St N. It was a photo developing and printing business until 1927 when he added a photographic studio.. In 1938 he moved to 208 Charlotte St. Lewis retired in 1966.
Gordon joined his father in 1951. When the studio closed in 1980, it was at the corner of Brock and Aylmer Streets.
