The bank was built by Henry Miller and Charles Lux, prominent businessmen whose extensive holdings included land, cattle, and the San Joaquin and Kings River Canal and Irrigation Company.

The building has a Neoclassical design which features wall surfaces resembling piers, a dentiled cornice, and seven bays on the front side, each containing a window or entrance.

The original design also included a frieze decorated with cattle heads and garlands, though this was removed for safety reasons in the 1930s.

[2] The Bank of Los Banos Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 24, 1979.
