The countdown has begun.

Our team gathered this week for pre-construction meetings, bringing together the architect, engineers, city staff and the chosen contractors as we prepare for this remarkable restoration.

After more than a year of research, planning and preservation work, the vision for this 130-year-old landmark is becoming reality.

We look forward to sharing this journey with the community at our official FMB Restoration Ceremony on July 13th.

Membership at The Vault is not intended to be about access to a room.
It’s about being part of the story from the beginning.

The discoveries. The restoration. The anticipation. The conversations that happen before the doors ever officially open.

While the space continues to take shape beneath historic downtown Pilot Point, we’re building something that can’t be replicated—a private experience rooted in history, craftsmanship, and connection.

Some things are worth waiting for.

What started as a few discoveries has turned into something bigger—an entire box of original deposit slips from October 1904, all found inside the historic Farmers & Merchants Bank.

These documents show money moving though Pilot Point, tied to local businesses like the Cotton Oil Mill and larger trade cities like New Orleans and Galveston.

If you missed last week’s construction update video, here’s a peek at the current basement beneath the 1896 bank.

All of the dirt has now been removed to reach the new floor depth — and that line running across the brick walls shows where the original dirt level sat for decades underground.

What was once a low, cramped crawlspace is finally revealing the true scale of the basement as restoration work continues below. Every inch uncovered tells more of the building’s story… from the original brickwork and support columns to the artifacts hidden beneath it all.

As the dirt was removed, old bank slips, receipts, and papers dating back over a century were discovered perfectly preserved in time underground — protected for decades beneath the original lobby floor. Small pieces of history that likely hadn’t seen daylight since the early days of the bank itself.

This phase may not be the glamorous part, but it’s one of the most important. The work happening beneath the surface is what will allow the next chapter of this historic building — and The Vault — to take shape the right way.

More updates coming soon.

Some projects are built. Others are uncovered.

There’s still a long way to go, but seeing the history, character, and raw bones of this place come back to life has us more excited than ever for what’s ahead.

We can’t wait to keep bringing you along for the process. 🗝️
