Al Beadle

Alfred Newman Beadle V (1927–1998) was an American modernist architect active in Phoenix, Arizona.

Trained in construction during World War II as a Seabee, Beadle moved to Phoenix in the early 1950s and built a variety of commercial and residential projects, including an entire housing development called Paradise Gardens (though he disassociated himself from the project before it was completed), and the local landmark of the Safari Resort in Scottsdale, which has since been demolished.

As part of his defense, Beadle's lawyer said that another local architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, was also practicing without the proper credentials.

In order to be eligible to take the test, Beadle had to obtain the requisite number of apprentice hours required by Arizona.
