WATERLOO --- For someone who admits to living in a world of dreams, Hovey Brom has made plenty of concrete contributions to the Cedar Valley.
His work is evident across the region in the buildings he designed in his 58 years at InVision Architects in Waterloo.
"We make our living dreaming as an architect," said Brom, a member of The Courier's second annual Eight Over 80 class. "The one thing that's been the most interesting, I guess, is to dream about a building that isn't there yet and won't be unless you use your imagination and skills and background to make it happen."
Brom, 85, still puts his dreams to work. He retired as a partner at InVision several years ago, but he still puts in 30 hours a week, bringing visions of churches, museums, recreational centers and campus buildings to reality.
"There's hardly a major building in the Cedar Valley that hasn't been designed by Hovey Brom," said ME&V founding partner Dee Vandeventer, a longtime friend and skiing partner (Yes, he still skis, Vandeventer said).
"Go to Wartburg, (University of Northern Iowa) or Allen Hospital and you'll see Hovey's work. He designed the original ski lodge at Keystone, Colo., and the lodge at our Girl Scout council's Camp Tahigwa," said Vandeventer. More than 250 Iowa church and synagogue projects, including Nazareth Lutheran, Westminster Presbyterian and Sons of Jacob Synagogue used Hovey's architectural plans.
Vandeventer also pointed out that the new Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum followed Brom's original layout.
Brom began his career at Thorson and Thorson --- now InVision --- following his 1952 graduation from Iowa State University. He earned a partnership in the company in 1957.
"He may have retired his partnership a few years ago, but he is far from retirement and continues to put in a full day every day," Vandeventer said.
Brom, who had been a professional musician as a bassist before starting college, didn't set out to be an architect.
"I started school as an electrical engineer and didn't like it," he said. "I just didn't think I wanted to spend the rest of my life in that. I learned there was a testing service, and I went to the testing service. They said the first thing I should be is a musician."
Having already indulged in that passion, Brom asked about an alternative.

When Adam walked with God in the garden, He taught him about creation and the purpose for cultivating and Maintaining it. He also taught him about naming the animals and his relationship with them. God did not speak to him in parables because it was given to him to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. It was the will of God for him to have all things and to have it in abundance. In this they . found great joy and fulfillment as they flow in absolute divine fellowship As Adam abided in Christ wants His Creator and do His, he flowed with the life force of God, he was totally alive to God always moving, vibrant and overflowing with the Spirit of God, lacking in nothing. ?
