Located at 107 North Trenton Street in Ruston, Louisiana, the Ruston State Bank is a two-story masonry structure completed in 1910 and designed in the Beaux-Arts style. The building's stone facade merges classical architectural references—combining a Roman triumphal arch with a temple front—to project institutional permanence and grandeur. A clock was added to the facade in 1927, becoming an additional focal point of the streetscape. The bank was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 and later recognized as a contributing property to the Downtown Ruston Historic District in 2017.
