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.
Taking part in Monday Murals.

Interesting, Sharon. Strange that the tomb is fenced in. Thank you so much for sharing.
What a striking tribute to Arizona’s history
I wonder if there is a connection to the site of the building?
Nicely done, Sharon.
He has a Teddy Roosevelt look about him.
Very striking mural. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Sharon.
His face is so classically 19th century to early 20th, but the colors make it modern.
Nice tribute to the man.
