The building is an example of the Streamline Moderne phase of the Art Deco movement and is notable for its bold relief sculptures of a farmer and a mechanic framing the main entrance.

The previous Farmers and Mechanics Savings Bank headquarters was built in 1891 on 115 S. 4th St.

The taller wings of the building once held offices but now house 214 hotel rooms.

The main banking lobby with a 34-foot (10 m) high ceiling, marble staircase, and carved wood emblems have been retained.
