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! The cover for the early portfolios is white embossed cover stock.
