Architectural attribution of the Arizona Biltmore

The Arizona Biltmore Hotel, opened in 1929, is credited to architect Albert Chase McArthur and is noted for its concrete 'textile block' motifs. Those blocks and the hotel's aesthetic closely resemble techniques associated with Frank Lloyd Wright, and Wright's role in the hotel's design has been debated by historians and in promotional histories. The extent of Wright's involvement versus McArthur's authorship is a documented and contested point in the building's architectural history.
