Westward Ho

This building was originally a luxury hotel built in 1928 in Phoenix. It was Arizona's tallest building until 1960. Van Sant's, Psycho (the near shot for shot remake) opens with an exterior zoom in shot to the hotel and has the character, Marion Crane staying in a room in the building.Since 1980, the building has been low income housing.

What a grand building. Good to hear it is being used for low income people.

A nice looking old building & the tower on top adds another bit of interest. Cool pov & love the palm trees along the street
