Curiously I started a thread about Parker Thomas myself, back in 2011. Saying that, other than the address, no new info turned up.

The Daimler 15 I owned at the time also had this badge affixed to the dash - small world huh!?

Just found this photo on flickr, from the 1920s or early 1930s.

This looks like the same corner, much modified and no clue that there was once a garage here.

It's the same building though isn't it Rick? Just had the edges knocked off it. Same number of columns on the left hand side and same bay windows on the front.

Pretty certain that it is, but to look at you'd not think there was ever a showroom there, mores the pity.
