The Treasury 1929
Rescued. Restored. Repurposed. Nearly a century ago, the Valley National Bank building became the sophisticated new centerpiece of Tucson’s growing downtown, an audacious statement of the city’s readiness to step boldly into a new era. At its opening, the bank was simply breathtaking, unlike anything this dusty desert city had ever seen before.
For all of us at Caylor Construction, the historical importance of taking on this project demanded that we willingly accept the responsibility of protecting and preserving the ageless elegance of this magnificent window on our city’s history. The plan was to transform the space into a completely unique venue of unrivaled beauty and elegance. To achieve that, our plan was simple: rescue as much as possible, restore it as faithfully as possible, and repurpose those pieces of history too incredible to discard into something to be appreciated in a new way.
The bank’s three impressive vault doors were beautifully restored, becoming the portals into special preparation rooms for the wedding party. The elegant marble spiral staircase down to the first floor now leading to a casually stylish Speakeasy, now with a full bar, comfortable seating, and classic tavern games. The beveled glass from the original teller-stations was repurposed into the main floor bar. The hand-painted ceilings were painstakingly restored, while the marble flooring prevalent throughout and massive marble columns lining the main floor were carefully returned to their lustrous finish. The iconic chandeliers were restored to current electrical standards.
For renowned Tucson restauranteur Daniel Scordato, a state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen was created to his exacting specifications.
Our work on such an important once-in-a-lifetime restoration project is something everyone here at Caylor is extremely proud of.

Caylor Completes Medical Respite Center
Caylor Design and Construction has completed the exciting new Medical Respite Center, the very first facility of its kind providing post-hospitalization care for the homeless.
This 15,000 square-foot facility, with both men’s and women’s dormitories, will house up to 48 homeless men and women, providing post-hospitalization medical care and care management, including meals and special diets, counseling for substance abuse or mental health issues, recovery and peer support, as well as two private rooms for hospice or other more individual care.
It is projected that by providing comprehensive post-hospitalization care to an estimated 1,500 homeless over the course of a year, our entire community will benefit from $20 million in savings each year by interrupting a seemingly never-ending cycle of costly readmissions.
Caylor is especially proud to have been chosen to build this facility because of the incredible level of care, healing and hope it will provide to so many of Tucson’s homeless men and women when they need it so badly.

Ronald McDonald House Kitchen:
As Rewarding as it was Challenging.
When we were selected by Tucson’s Ronald McDonald House for the construction of their badly-needed kitchen upgrade, we knew there would be unusual challenges, not the least of which was the necessity to complete the entire project with an absolute minimum amount of disruption to the families living in the house.
Our subcontractors were simply amazing, all of them going over and above what we asked, with many of them providing special pricing – even gifting some essential materials – because of their desire to serve families going through some of the toughest times imaginable.
Ronald McDonald House CEO Kate Jensen probably said it best: “Our kitchen is the heart of the Ronald McDonald House. It’s where our families gather to take a break from the stress of worrying about their sick child and enjoy a wonderful home-cooked meal. Our newly-remodeled kitchen is a now a more welcoming space for the moms and dads who are missing the comforts of their own homes.”
“We chose Caylor Design and Construction for the project because we respect and admire the company’s work and work ethic. Rob Caylor is simply a joy to work with. They have my deepest gratitude and my highest praise.”
All of us at Caylor Design and Construction are honored to have been trusted with this project and grateful for the opportunity to work alongside this incredible group of people.
Being an active, contributing member of our community is important to us. We are proud to support numerous local organizations – and help them however we can – with the tremendous work they do for so many in our community.
