Alfred Newman Beadle

is one of Arizona's most respected midcentury architects working in the international style. The Beadle Archive, conceived by Shawn Augustinak in 2006 and now managed by Alison King at Modern Phoenix, has been substantially updated with the cooperation of Al Beadle's family and colleagues in the last four years. Over 100 residential and 100 commercial properties exist, and several have been demolished, so only a fraction are shown here.

Future plans for expansion include a complete timeline with years built, locations and proper names for all buildings, unbuilt plans and renderings, vintage photography and updated photographs of current properties. An interactive map of all properties will be made available as soon as privacy concerns are assessed, but a map of publicly accessible commercial properties and multifamily is now available.

As these structures come of age we urge owners of Beadle buildings to pursue historic designation of their properties through the National Register of Historic Places and/or City of Scottsdale, Tempe & Phoenix historic registers. Beadle House #11 and Executive Towers both successfully got on the register in 2017, and Roman Roads entered the register in 2018! If you're not ready to contact the HP offices, please reach out to Modern Phoenix for assistance in getting started.
