The building is notable for its architecture, and for a series of murals in its lobby, commissioned in the 1960s and executed by Robert L. Lambdin, an artist best known for his Depression-era work funded by the Works Progress Administration.{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=06000593}}|title=NRHP nomination for Westport Bank and Trust Company|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=2015-01-15}}
