The Beadle Surprise

 

When I went out on my "Beadle hunt", I had the address of this building but wasn't sure what I'd find. It appears that the Modern Phoenix website is not being updated currently and the photos of this building looked like this on their site:


I was afraid it might have been torn down.

I was surprised to see this beautifully restored building looking very fresh and inviting.  It is now being operated as The Beadle Workspace, a shared workspace facility.  Their website has great views of the building from above and inside.  It's well worth a look here! The eclectic work environment made me smile.  

Finding this building was a surprise and a pleasure.  It's so nice to see that someone has thought enough of the history of the place to name the building and business to honor the original architect.

What fun you're having with all the Beadle buildings! I love the mid-century architecture and you're so lucky to have one architect who built so many cool buildings in Phoenix.

Yes, that is hopeful and wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing the old picture too!
