Valley National Bank Building
Valley National Bank Building, Renaissance Revival skyscraper in Downtown Tucson, United States
The Valley National Bank Building is a high-rise in downtown Tucson with a facade of brick and cream-colored terra cotta in classical style. This eleven-story structure spans Stone Avenue and displays Renaissance elements in its architectural design.
The building was completed in 1929 as Tucson's first high-rise and symbolized the city's economic expansion during that era. Its completion marked a turning point in urban development and set new standards for future construction projects.
Inside, murals by Anthony Heinsbergen show American scenes and themes that reflect artistic tastes from the early 20th century. These paintings still mark the interior spaces and speak to a period when art and commerce were closely connected.
Access to the building is available through several entrances, with stairs and elevators helping visitors move between floors. Visitors should note that this is a functioning structure and some areas may not be open to the public.
The structure appeared in the 1956 film 'A Kiss Before Dying' and operated as a bank for many decades. This connection to Hollywood history combined with its long banking role makes it a notable part of Tucson's visual past.
