Architect's Row near Central and Camelback

In the mid-fifties, several architects created office buildings along the east side of Camelback Road.
Here are just a few examples from that era.

The Friedman Office building by Ralph Haver.
Haver and Nunn's own office building was in immediate vicinity (demolished).

 

An office building by Al Beadle. Facade was scraped in 2011.

 

Harold Ekman's design offices. Now St. Francis restaurant, rehabbed by architect Wendell Burnette.

 

Fred Guirey's office, currently serving time as an income tax office.
Back in its heyday it also housed the Contemporary Furnishings store.

 

The Schreiber brothers had an office on Central just north of the Row.

 

The notorious Castle Boutique and new home to Trails. Architect unknown.

Entz-White Lumber was the handyman's heaven before Home Depot or Ace ever came onto the scene.
Warehouse was designed by Ralph Haver. Was razed some decades ago and replaced with a church.
