Banks, and savings and loans needed
to expand to new and larger quarters. Valley Federal Savings and Loan chose
to erect a tall building with offices for lease on the upper floors. Opening
day was November 25, 1974. The building at 5th and Rood is now
the Alpine Bank. Mesa Federal Savings & Loan, and Modern Savings and Loan
also had handsome new buildings.
