Perrott Lyon Timlock & Kesa emerged from the architecture firm Leslie M. Perrott & Associates. This was founded by Leslie M. Perrot senior and made a name for itself in the period between the world wars by building large hotels in Melbourne. These buildings included the Alexander Hotel (1929), the Chevron (1934) and the Hotel Australia (1939). Perrot's son joined the office in 1951 after completing his studies, and Ronald Grant Lyon joined in 1952. He had gained experience in the Corps of Engineers and worked for Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew in London after the war . In 1954, Lyon married Marietta Perrot, the elder Perrot's daughter, who worked as a draftsman in the architecture firm. In 1971 the name of the architectural firm was changed to Perrott, Lyon, Timlock and Kesa.
