Notes
[edit]- ^ 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.
- ^ McIver & Cohagen were supervising architects for the primary designer of the church, Howard Van Doren Shaw of Chicago.
