     In the application for recognition as a local and national historic property it is described as follows:

     “The Old Guaranty Bank Building is a two story brick and terra-cotta neo-classical commercial building located in downtown Lafayette. The bank is set on the corner of Congress and Jefferson Streets and consequently has two articulated elevations. The main entrance is at the corner under a round, domed pavilion. The pavilion is set off from the rest of the building by a flanking pair of jutting brick piers. The elevations advance and recede slightly to express different interior spaces. Most of the windows are out of the round head type and feature brick piers and terra-cotta imposts, surrounds, and keystones. Most of the lower story windows are accented with free-standing Tuscan columns on pedestals. The rounded corner entrance features free-standing Tuscan columns supporting a full entablature. The building is surmounted by a low parapet and terra-cotta entablature with a modillion cornice. The corner dome is set on a high drum and features a cornice of its own.”
