The two-story brick building at 110 E. 6th was built in 1902 like those to its west. It is designed in the Neoclassical Revival style, and has a triangular pediment above the second level, tying the entire building together as one.
Brick pilasters divide the second level into four distinct bays. Each bay is slightly recessed and has a simple cornice above the window and stone stills beneath. All second floor windows are boarded up. The east center bay has a row of detail below the window which is linked to the opening below which forms the entrance to the stairway and to the bank lobby.
There is a raised basement, with rusticated stone facing and a stairway leading down from the sidewalk. The two western bays have been renovated to a storefront with an aluminum-framed double doorway and three large display windows. This portion of the building is occupied as the China Buffet restaurant. The east portion of the ground floor level is Jah Jah's Espresso Cafe.
This building is Item 4 on the district nomination.
