Arizona Banks were not particularly adventuresome in their architecture. They didn't go to extremes. What they did have for branding was a strong identification with kachinas, back when that stuff was popular.

It was their logo. You can still spot friezes of repeating kachina-patterns on branch banks on the west side, in Glendale and Peoria, and some of them look pretty silly. This particular example of curved stained-glass is in a former Arizona Bank at Scottsdale and McDonald, a handsome and competent but very traditional building.

This former Arizona Bank Stockyards branch is from the office of William Pereira and Charles Luckman, Los Angeles. It stands right next to the Stockyards Restaurant on Washington Street, in a kind of strange no-man's-neighborhood around a couple of highways and the airport, within shouting distance of Tovrea Castle.

Some sources have it at 1960, but it's actually 1951. The earlier date increases the chances that Pereira himself had something to do with the design, as opposed to "his office".

Not one of my personal favorites in current form. The main design element is a circular rubblestone "kiva", which you cannot see into from outside, and awkwardly connected to a square structure with overhangs. Neither the forms or colors please the eye. Given Periera's adventurous nature and usual stylishness, it would be great to see vintage photos. Something tells me there was once more window area (creating a better mass/void contrast with the stone) and maybe a water feature long gone.

This is one of the City of Phoenix "Mid-Century Marvels".
