Lescher & Mahoney was an American architectural firm from Phoenix, Arizona.
History
The firm was established in 1910 by Royal W. Lescher (1882-1957). Lescher practiced alone until 1912, when he took John R. Kibbey (1883-1963) as a partner, forming Lescher & Kibbey.[1]
In 1917 Leslie J. Mahoney (1892-1985) joined the firm as a designer. He was promoted to partner in 1921.[2] 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.[1] 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.[3]
Many of the firm's works are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
