Emile George Perrot (November 12, 1872 – February 7, 1954) was an architect and engineer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.
Career
Perrot was born in Philadelphia on November 12, 1872. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. He married Agnes A. Robb on June 10, 1896, and they had seven children.
In 1902, Perrot formed a partnership with Walter Francis Ballinger, a firm known as Ballinger & Perrot. When Ballinger bought out Perrot's share in 1920, the firm became known as The Ballinger Company, and Perott opened his own office.
