Gila Valley Bank and Trust Building

Valley National Bank closed the branch in 1952,[2] and the building went through several different tenants, such as a news stand and other merchandise stores.

The presence of terra cotta exemplifies the economic prominence of Globe during the early 20th century as a mining and ranching center.

Among the architectural features of the building are Corinthian pilasters, an elaborate frieze, and several semicircular windows.

Restoration work occurred in the 1980s, several years before the building was listed on the National Register.

However, some alterations, such as the relocation of the entry to the corner of the building, the removal of decorative brickwork, and the addition of stucco, were preserved.
