Luhrs Tower, Art Deco skyscraper in Downtown Phoenix, United States

Luhrs Tower is a 14-story Art Deco office building at the southeast corner of First Avenue and Jefferson Street in Downtown Phoenix. It rises 185 feet (56 m) with symmetrical setbacks at the 8th and 11th floors, designed by the El Paso firm Trost & Trost and built by the A. F. Wasielewski Company of Phoenix.

Built in 1929 as an office building developed by George Luhrs Jr., the tower emerged during Phoenix's economic expansion before the Great Depression. It represents the architectural ambitions of the city during this prosperous period.

The tower's design by Trost & Trost closely resembles the firm's O. T. Bassett Tower in El Paso, Texas, and also borrows elements from Eliel Saarinen's Tribune Tower entry. The general contractor was the A. F. Wasielewski Company of Phoenix. The building stands at the southeast corner of First Avenue and Jefferson Street.

The building sits at the intersection of First Avenue and Jefferson Street in the downtown area and is easily visible from the street. You can walk around it to view the architectural details from different angles throughout the day.

In Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film Psycho, the tower stands in the background of the scene where Marion Crane, played by Janet Leigh, crosses the street carrying the deposit she was meant to bank for her employer. The building was completed in 1929, the same year as the stock market crash.
