In 1979, Architects Beazley Moliere designed this 144,000 square foot office building for Southwest National Bank. The building is located at the edge of Lafayette’s Central Business District adjacent to the oldest Catholic church in the city. The building is oriented diagonally on the site to avoid and preserve a stand of live oak trees that enhance the site. This orientation allows these live oaks to provide shade and cover to the large entry plaza as it extends to the street and to the parking area adjacent to the building.

The first two floors are currently used by Midsouth National Bank and utilize the drive-in banking facilities located in the rear of the building. The rear drive-in location keeps traffic away from the pedestrian areas.
