Luhrs Tower
Encyclopedia : L : LU : LUH : Luhrs Tower
Luhrs Tower is an Art Deco skyscraper in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. It is located at the southeast corner of First Avenue and Jefferson Street, on the south side of Patriots Square Park. Built in 1929 by George Luhrs, a prominent local businessman, the tower reaches a height of 185 ft (56 m). Luhrs Tower has 14 stories, with symmetrical setbacks at the 8th and 11th floors. It was designed by the El Paso architectural firm of Trost & Trost and bears a considerable resemblance to another design by the same firm, the O.T. Bassett Tower in El Paso.
Luhrs Tower should not be confused with the adjacent Luhrs Building, which was built in 1924.
