Two of Levi Dean’s sons, S. Brooks Dean and E. Keith Dean formed Dean and Dean, Inc. Architects in 1956, in an effort to carry on their father’s legacy after his death. Over the next 30 years the firm grew to become the premier architectural firm of Huntington, designing buildings for the area's prominent educational and public institutions. Dean and Dean, Inc. Architects designed many of Huntington's most significant buildings, including seven major commissions at Marshall University and scores of public schools, libraries, banks, medical facilities and commercial buildings. In 1996 the firm was sold to Edward Tucker, with the hopes of continuing the architectural legacy started by Levi Dean nearly a century before.
