This 1908 Spanish Revival Style brick one-part commercial block features an entrance on a chamfered corner. It has limestone sills and lintels and a large metal canopy with wood soffit. The wood windows, transoms, and doors are original as are the security bars from when the building housed the bank.

It has been home to five businesses over its lifespan and most likely has been continuously occupied. Originally it was the Farmers and Merchants State Bank. At a later date (between 1937 and 1955) it became the Hutto Post Office and operated as such until 1990. Other than the teller cages that have been removed, most of the original finishes and distinctive features are intact, such as the pressed tin ceilings and crown molding as well as the original partitioning of the space. The original vault from the bank has been preserved inside the building and is still in use.
