Museum Tavern, London, designed by Finch Hill and Paraire

Between 1856–70, he worked with his partner Finch Hill. Together they worked on many music halls and theatres, including Weston's Music Hall (1857), the Islington Philharmonic (1860[1]), the Oxford Music Hall (1861), the Royal Cambridge (1856, in Shoreditch), and the Britannia Theatre (1841, Hoxton) – the last of whose designs was exhibited by Paraire in 1859.

The partnership was based in separate houses in the same street, and on its dissolution Paraire returned to designing banks, churches and public houses.

The Museum Tavern, a public house, is a Grade II listed buildings.[2]
