Lescher & Mahoney


Lescher & Mahoney was an American architectural firm from Phoenix, Arizona.

History

The firm was established in 1910 by Royal W. Lescher. Lescher practiced alone until 1912, when he took John R. Kibbey as a partner, forming Lescher & Kibbey.
In 1917 Leslie J. Mahoney joined the firm as a designer. He was promoted to partner in 1921. The new firm, Lescher, Kibbey & Mahoney, was dissolved in 1922 when Kibbey left to design movie sets in Hollywood. The resulting partnership of Lescher & Mahoney survived until Lescher's death in 1957. However, Mahoney retained the name until his retirement in 1975, when the firm was sold. It was acquired by DLR Group of Omaha. Again, the name was retained and Lescher & Mahoney continued to operate semi-autonomously until 1998, when the firm was fully merged into DLR.
Many of the firm's works are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
