We take a look at the extensive research archives on Milton B. Bean from researcher Leopoldo Montoya (he recently donated), who began researching the architect and his buildings after purchasing a Beandesigned house in Wyncote. This launched a 20- year-long search that yielded hundreds, if not thousands, of structures designed by Bean, who resided in Lansdale for half a century.
