Robert Beeghly, architect
From hockey arenas and high schools, to office buildings and churches, the works of architect Robert R. Beeghly are sprinkled across the local landscape.
The Erlanger man spent more than 30 years designing structures as a partner in a Hamilton, Ohio, design firm where he developed a fondness for creating schools.
"He particularly liked the schools that he did because he could see where kids were using them, " said his son, Michael Beeghly. "I think he felt like he was making a positive impact on people's lives."
