If you have spent any time in, or passing through, the Roosevelt District of Phoenix, you’ll have noticed that it is mainly a neighborhood of ranches and bungalows. However, there is one tall building that stands proud right in the middle of the neighborhood. That building is the Embassy Condominiums. Built in 1964 by Del Webb as a swanky Hotel, it boasts one of the only “floating” pools in Arizona. The pool is actually just off the 3rd floor event room and covers the driveway entrance to the building. Because of the elevated pool, the short distance from the downtown high rise clusters, and the mature palm trees surrounding the building; it provides one of the most amazing poolside views of downtown Phoenix.

There’s a lot more, and he helpfully links to this engrossing history of the neighborhood.
