The mural is by Berlin-bsed artist Karl Addison and it depicts the architect Frank Henry. Henry was a Phoenix architect who was a member of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and created some beautiful buildings in and around Phoenix. One of them is an all-time favorite of mine that I featured a few years ago. It's the midcentury modern Chase Bank located not far from where I live now. I love the mural and I'm glad I found it.

I remember the banks since it is so unusual, Sharon! I like that mural too!
I always liked the looks of that bank. The mural is unusual and well done.
It is interesting that this mural is in such an inaccessible place, but I am certainly happy that Sherlock Sharon found it for us to enjoy.
I just checked out the bank link and I agree that it is a beautiful and unique bank. I love the design. The mural here is very impressive, I like it. I notice the tree's leaves make it seem like a hairdo on top of his head. :) Nice job locating it Sharon.
I loved that bank too. Nice photo of the mural.
I like it too, the artist is very clever.
It's really well drawn and painted and a great tribute!
A beautiful mural, well located under that tree.
With the greenery above the head it looks wonderful.
That's a great mural, and well worth searching out. I can see why you like that bank building, too! What an unusual and beautiful structure -- very FLW.
It is quite eye catching.
