Thomas Thurmon
(Tommy)
Hayes Jr.FAIA

(1925–1987)

After serving in the Army, Hayes attended NCSU on a football scholarship and received a degree in Architectural Engineering in 1949 and a degree in architecture in 1951. For a brief time, he worked with William Deitrick. According to his wife Cleon, he also worked briefly with Edward Loewenstein, who sent him to Southern Pines to work on three houses. In 1952, Hayes decided to go on his own and founded T. T. Hayes Jr. and Associates. He served as construction superintendent for the McElvare Residence by Henry Kamphoefner. Later he partnered with Tom Marshall to form Hayes Marshall and Associates; then in 1958 with Calvin Howell to form Hayes Howell and Associates.

Hayes served as AIANC President in 1978. After his death in 1987, Robert Anderson and David Clinton eventually bought the firm; Clinton left and it became Anderson Architects PLLC. David Clinton recalls that Hayes was a consummate designer and teacher who would frequently quote his muse, Matthew Nowicki, architect of Raleigh's Dorton Arena.
