It was built in 1902, and is a one-story, eclectic, red and yellow brick structure with a concave mansard roof. The front facade features a galvanized sheet-metal cornice that may have been manufactured by H. T. Klugel. The bank occupied the building until 1914, after which it housed the public library until 1977. It is currently occupied by the Greensville-Emporia Historical Museum.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
