Arizona Art Deco V: Old Phoenix City Hall. There is a new Deco Echo City Hall across the street that is like 10 bajillion times bigger, to reflect the city’s growth since the original City Hall was built. The building is the same building as the Maricopa County Courthouse, but is facing off to the side. All the Arizona pics are up on my flickr: http://bit.ly/1KNUZo6

A bit about the building from Southwestern School of Law, the building’s current owner:
Designed by renowned Los Angeles architects John and Donald Parkinson and conceived by business partners John G. Bullock and P.G. Winnett, the Bullocks Wilshire Building operated as a luxury department store for more than 60 years. In 1994, Southwestern purchased the Art Deco landmark and set out to convert it into a dynamic academic venue, while retaining its historic character. Through its adaptive reuse, the law school now utilizes the building for cutting-edge scholastic, professional and social resources that represent the heart of the Southwestern community.
