The Portfolios of Haver & Nunn 1952 - 1967

AKA Ralph Haver & Associates, Haver Nunn & Jensen Haver Nunn & Collamer and Haver Nunn & Nelson. "Haver, Nunn-the-less!"


From 1945 until the mid-80s, Ralph Haver and his associates practiced architecture in Phoenix, Arizona, leaving an indelible imprint on the way we live, work, learn, shop, worship and bank. As a native in the Valley of the Sun during the 50s, 60s and 70s, its possible you have experienced life in more Haver-designed buildings than any other firm of its time. See how many buildings you recognize! Cover photo for Haver, Nunn, and Jensen's portfolio The cover for the early portfolios is white embossed cover stock.
