Remarks: This building was designed for the site eventually occupied by Trost & Trost’s Commercial National Bank Building of 1914-1915 (TXELPAC.005).
Photographs in the Luhrs Collection are from the files of George N. Luhrs, client for the Luhrs Tower and Luhrs (office) Building in Phoenix, Arizona, and it is presumed they were sent to him as proposals for these buildings.
