Historical Note

Architectural Design West PC was founded in 1892 in Logan, Utah by European trained architect Karl C. Schaub. Schaub's original practice became Monson & Schaub (Joseph Monson), then Schaub, Haycock, & Associates (G. Eugene Haycock), and finally Architectural Design West PC, which at different times has elsewhere included offices in Utah, Idaho and California

Over the course of the twentieth-century Architectural Design West PC engaged in work on many major landmarks in northern Utah and southern Idaho. The firm designed and remodeled universities, churches, tabernacles, public buildings, and many upscale residential homes. Some of these construction projects were funded by the New Deal during the Great Depression

The firm currently remains active in Logan.
