Hunt's Tomb

Hunt's Tomb is a tomb in the shape of a small white pyramid behind a fence at the top of a hill within Papago Park, Phoenix, Arizona, United States.

George W. P. Hunt (Arizona's first governor) had the tomb built in 1931 to entomb his wife.

According to Roadside America, "Dubbed 'King George VII,' he was a friend of the common man and a foe (sometimes) of the railroad and mining trusts, which he called 'coyotes' and 'skunks.'"

Plaques on his pyramid declare that he was a descendant of an unnamed "Revolutionary War patriot," that he allowed women to vote in his state eight years before the rest of the country, and that he was elected governor seven times, which "set a national record.
