Sioux City, Iowa, 1912-1940


Partners:

Ralph Arnold, Sioux City, Iowa

William Beuttler, Sioux City, Iowa

The roots of the firm of Beuttler & Arnold began in 1911 when William Beuttler and Ralph Arnold, both fresh from architectural school, went to work for W. W. Beach, Architect, in Sioux City Iowa. The next year the two launched their own practice, which lasted nearly three decades. The firm is said to have “…had roots back to the turn of the century, including ties to the regionally renowned prairie school architect William Steele.”[9][12] Following the demise of the partnership, Beuttler continued practicing in Sioux City, while Arnold went to work for the Iowa State Board of Control in Des Moines.[1][12]

This page is a contribution to the publication, Place Makers of Nebraska: The Architects. See the format and contents page for more information on the compilation and page organization.
