    DESIGN AND THE ARTS SPECIAL COLLECTIONS ALFRED NEWMAN BEADLE COLLECTION Collection #: MS MSS 30 Location: DESIGN AND THE ARTS SPECIAL COLLECTIONS Drawings and Papers: 1950s-2000s No. of Items: 83 oversize folders and 6 boxes, c. 20 linear feet Biographical Note Alfred Newman Beadle V was born in St. Paul, Minnesota on September 23, 1927, the youngest child of Fred and Marie Beadle. He attended school in Minneapolis but did not graduate from high school. During World War II, he served with the U.S. Navy Construction Battalion, known as the Seabees, where his experience included building piers, working on the design of a command base, and constructing a hospital. Following the war, Beadle worked for his father’s commercial kitchen and restaurant contractor business designing kitchen layouts and receiving practical experience in design and construction. In 1948, he married Nancy Leland in Duluth, Minnesota. While living in Minneapolis, Beadle designed two houses. In 1951, Al, Nancy, and their son Steven moved to Phoenix, Arizona so that Al could continue to work for his father, who had recently moved there. Following the move to Phoenix, Beadle worked on a variety of commercial and residential projects, including the Paradise Gardens housing development and the Safari Resort in Scottsdale. As his business grew, Beadle developed a practice that involved all phases of the architectural and construction process, including financing, design, building, and sales. Beadle’s lack of an architectural license eventually led to a confrontation with the state of Arizona Board of Technical Registration. The situation improved in 1956 when Beadle began working with Alan Dailey, a respected east coast architect who had recently retired to Phoenix.

The list includes privately held securities. Some privately held securities lacked certain data fields to facilitate removal from the list. To avoid incomplete removal of privately held securities or erroneous removal of publicly traded securities from the list, the Four Funds have chosen to report all publicly and privately traded securities.

  • Follow the Money: Identifying The
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: FOLLOW THE MONEY: IDENTIFYING THE CUSTOM ARCHITECTURALLY DESIGNED BRANCH BANK Degree Candidate: Donna Jean Reiner Degree and Year: Master of Arts in Historic Preservation, 2009 Thesis Directed by: Roger A. Brevoort, M.S. Welch Center for Graduate and Professional Studies Goucher College This thesis breaks new ground through the identification and academic analysis of a mid-century modern building type that represents the history of nationwide banking practices and an evolving architectural form. Using Phoenix, Arizona as the backdrop, this research examines the origins and evolution of the Custom Architecturally Designed Branch Bank, a building type previously not studied in a scholarly manner. First, the research summarizes the history of banking and branch banking in the United States from its 18th century roots to 1975, highlights the styles and trends of bank architecture during that period, and focuses on specific examples in Phoenix. Second, the research looks at branch banks as a building type describing the characteristics of the Custom Architecturally Designed Branch Bank citing specific historical and culturally significant Phoenix examples. Resulting from this scholarly analysis is the argument that the Custom Architecturally Designed Branch Bank is a significant building type. Finally the research proposes strategies for preservation of these properties and provides Phoenix examples of successes and “lessons learned” from failures applicable nationwide. Included are suggested approaches for advocating preservation of the Custom Architecturally Designed Branch Bank after examining the threats for each site. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There were many people who assisted me in this thesis, in part by making sure that I looked at their favorite branch bank wherever I traveled over the past three years.

  • National Corporation for Housing Partnerships
    National Corporation for Housing Partnerships "The place a man lives is more than just another commodity, service or possession; it is a symbol of his status, an extension of his personality, a part of his identity, a determinant of many of the benefits - and disadvantages - of society that will come to him and his family: schooling, police protection, municipal serv­ ices, neighborhood environment, access (or lack of ac­ cess) to a hundred possibilities of life and culture." "Segments of the urban poor today know and feel their relative deprivation, in housing or in other regards, to an unprecedented degree. The overwhelming con­ trast of their own living condition with that of the wealthy majority is brought home everyday by modern means of communication." "There is a complex relation among the quality of housing, the behavior of people, the condition of a neighborhood, and the life of the poor." "These relationships are by no means simple. Better housing, alone, will not overcome all the ills of today's poverty, but better housing is one essential part of the effort to do so.,, From The Report of the President's Committee on Urban Housing, December 11, 1968 1 The President's Committee on Urban Housing believed Goal that American business should have a way to turn con­ cern for the nation's housing problems into commitment to solve them. The Committee recommended the adop­ of the tion of Title IX of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968. The National Corporation for Housing Part­ Housing nerships and the National Housing Partnership are the first organizations to be established by the President Partnership under the authority of this new law.

It has been accepted for inclusion in DePaul Law Review by an authorized editor of Via Sapientiae. For more information, please contact [email protected]. LENDER LIABILITY FOR DISCOVERABLE STRUCTURAL DEFECTS IN NEW TRACT HOUSING During the past decade the residential construction industry has under- gone substantial structural change. Many residential contractors today build housing developments of five hundred and more homes, whereas in 1950 the average contractor built only three or four homes per year.' Just as mass production techniques in the automotive industry, for exam- ple, have generated novel legal remedies,2 the marketing of housing on a massive scale has required an evolution in legal theory.
