The Governor

 

I discovered some new apartments near downtown Phoenix and the building has this huge mural of Governor George W.P. Hunt, the first governor of the state of Arizona.

I did some online searching for the artist but I had no luck.

















The new apartments are on McDowell Road at about 17th Street and they are called "The Governor".  

Governor Hunt has a very unique tomb that I featured back in 2011.  It's a pyramid.  If you look at that post you will learn a few more facts about this colorful man and his unique tomb.

I wonder if there is a connection to the site of the building?

His face is so classically 19th century to early 20th, but the colors make it modern.
