1887 - Chartered June 18th, capital of $100,000
              Succeeded Kales & Lewis
1926 - Title changed to "First National Bank of Arizona at PHOENIX"

The earliest charter on which notes can be reasonably obtained.



Original building 1887-1910 located on SE corner of Center (Now Central) & Washington.



After acquiring the entire building in 1910, the bank chose to demolish it and build this modern, 4 story building (shown here in 1914)
