This executive office building for the Harry L. Nace Theater chain, located at 1407 E. Thomas Road, Phoenix, Arizona was designed by A.I.A. Architect, Murry Harris. Castle Grey slump block was selected for the North, East and West, street exposed walls, and 8 x 8 x 16 inch concrete masonry units for the rear and interior partitions. The slump block were "laid up" in white mortar with a raked joint. The neat appearance of the building offers an asset to the area.

The Mountain View Medical Clinic, is overshadowed by the famous Camelback Mountain seen in the background. Located at 4600 E. Indian School Road, Phoenix, Arizona, the clinic is occupied by three physicians and features the most modern arrangements.
The building, costing in the neighborhood of $200,000 is set up for the three general practitioners. It consists of about 5,900 square feet of area on the main floor and 2,600 square feet in the basement. Interior roof support is effected by steel columns and beams. The roof is the steel joist frame with Gyp deck and Monoform finish. The interior is designed for high efficiency, including a clerestory in the center which permits natural light in the corridors, lab and nurse's station.
The exterior walls are brick masonry bearing walls and are broken with the use of the precast concrete window frames.
