Charles Debrille Poston

Based on a photo of Charles Debrille Poston, who is commonly referred to as the “Father of Arizona” due to his efforts lobbying for the creation of the territory. He was also the Arizona Territory’s first delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives, and known for his eccentricities. In the photo, he is standing in the middle of intersection of Second and Washington streets leading a donkey with one hand, and holding a book with the other. The historic Fry Building is in the background, which is now home to Majerle’s Sports Grill. The concept was spearheaded by Majerle’s management, and sponsored by the Downtown Phoenix Partnership. The photo was adapted for the Fry Building stairwell by artists Hugo Medina and Michele Hill.
