This is another building I photographed on the day I was looking for Beadle architecture. I stopped at this place because the Modern Phoenix website listed it as one where the architect is unknown. This is a bowling alley that has been at this location as long as I've lived in Arizona. The ownership has changed a few times but it remains a bowling alley.
The architecture is a bit crazy with those soaring rooflines. It's a shame that we can't give the true architect credit for this very distinctive style.

That climate seems to have attracted amazing design.
It's wonderful. This is the kind of thing to stop you in your tracks, Sharon.
Such a cool building. I didn't realize how much mid-century architecture is in Phoenix.
What a unique building, very cool looking.
Wow! That is quite amazing! Reminds me of Palm Springs.
Wow, and unusual with an unknown architect.
What a striking building with those dramatic rooflines! It's a pity the architect remains unknown, but it's great that you captured its unique character. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead! Check out my new style post: https://www.melodyjacob.com/2024/08/uoozee-church-outfit-review.html Thank you.
I like it, kind of looks like an insect on it's hind legs.

Ford Nucleon - "little 'mushrooms" all over the roadway?
calling Desert Valley Testing…?
this would have been one way to get to the bowling alley
