Dean E. Arter & Associates, Architects
Principal:
The Dean E. Arter & Associates architectural firm was organized in 1966, when Dean Edwin Arter purchased the interests of his former partner in the Arter & Speece firm. The firm provided services in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, and Colorado until 1998, three years following the death of its founder. Arter & Associates designed private residences, public and elderly housing, churches, schools, and public buildings.[2]
