Perrot was born in Philadelphia on November 12, 1872.[1] He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania.[2] He married Agnes A. Robb on June 10, 1896, and they had seven children.[1]

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.[3]

Perrot was a member of the American Institute of Architects and the American Society of Civil Engineers.[2] Beginning in 1902, he gave lectures on the uses of reinforced concrete at the University of Pennsylvania.[1]

Perrot died at St. Joseph's Hospital in Philadelphia on February 7, 1954, and was buried at Old Cathedral Cemetery.[4][5]
