Early life

McIver was born on April 29, 1892, in Great Falls, Montana, at age 82.[1] He graduated from the University of Michigan in 1915.[1][2]

Career

McIver became an architect in Great Falls, Montana in 1915, when he co-founded the firm of Mclver, Cohagen and Marshall with Chandler C. Cohagen and Walter V. Marshall.[2] He served in the United States Army during World War I in 1917–1919.[2] From 1919 to 1936, he was a partner in McIver & Cohagen.[2] He was a partner in McIver, Hess & Haugsjaa from 1950 to 1959, and in McIver & Hess until 1969.[2] Over the course of his career, McIver designed many churches, hospitals and schools,[1] as well as the courthouses of Toole County, Glacier County and Pondera County.[2] Among his major works is the Montana Veterans and Pioneers Memorial Building in Helena, built from 1950 to 1953 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[3]

Cohagen was a fellow of the American Institute of Architects.[2]

Architectural works[lower-alpha 1]

Notes
  1. During McIver's partnership with Chandler C. Cohagen, works of the firm were usually designed by one of the two architects depending on which of the firm's offices the project originated in. Works in Great Falls can therefore be attributed to McIver and those in Billings to Cohagen, though projects outside of these cities are harder to attribute specifically. For this reason works by McIver, Cohagen & Marshall and McIver & Cohagen are listed here regardless of their primary designers.
  2. McIver & Cohagen were supervising architects for the primary designer of the church, Howard Van Doren Shaw of Chicago.
