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. Dailey offered Beadle a partnership in his firm,
Dailey Associates, which allowed Beadle to keep practicing architecture and also
fulfill the apprenticeship hours required to sit for the registration exams, which he
went on to pass.
As a partner-in-charge at Dailey Associates from 1956 to 1967, Beadle completed
some of his most critically acclaimed work, including the Case Study Apartments
#1, a three-unit apartment development known as the Triad in Phoenix. This
project was the only Arizona building included in the influential Case Study House
program of Arts & Architecture magazine. During this period, Beadle also
designed and supervised construction of the 21-story Executive Towers in 1964,
then the tallest high-rise building in Phoenix. He also designed two buildings that
won awards in design and excellence in engineering from the American Iron and
Steel Institute in 1965, a branch building of Western Savings and Loan and his
own house in Phoenix (Beadle House 11).
In 1967 Beadle started his own architectural firm in Phoenix and for the next thirty
years designed residential and commercial buildings in the local area and in
Chicago, Salt Lake City, San Diego, and Albuquerque. In addition to winning
numerous awards, Beadle’s designs were featured in many national and
international architectural publications of note and his work was exhibited at the
Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1993, the College of Architecture and
Environmental Design at Arizona State University hosted a month-long exhibit on
Beadle’s work, entitled Constructions: Buildings in Arizona by Alfred Newman
Beadle and the College gave an award to Beadle for distinguished achievement in
the practice of architecture. Publication of the exhibit catalogue in 1993 and a
second edition in 2008 provided a documentary record of Beadle’s career and
significance.
In addition to being an architect and designer, Beadle was also a sculptor and a
licensed contractor. Alfred Newman Beadle died in Carefree, Arizona on October
10, 1998, survived by his wife, Nancy, and children Steven, Nansi Le, Caren, Gerri
Lynn, and Scott. During his lifetime, Beadle was best known for designing stylish
modernist buildings consistent with the work of Mies van der Rohe and Richard
Neutra. In recent years, the architecture of Alfred Newman Beadle has been
rediscovered by a new generation of midcentury modern architecture devotees and
Beadle is widely recognized as a pioneer in desert modernism. Working with the
online archive group Modern Phoenix, the Beadle family and architects who
worked with Alfred Newman Beadle (including Wayne Chaney, Ned Sawyer, Rich
Fairbourn, and Eddy Jones) have identified about 200 projects in the Phoenix area
alone that Beadle designed.
