The First National Bank of Jayton, erected about 1912 by descendants of early Kent County pioneers, is an excellent example of early 20th century classical revival style. Its polished granite Ionic columns, bull's eye windows, quoins, and unusual recessed entry portico reflect the period's favored bank imagery of stability and order. Its domed skylight is a device often employed by the building's architect, Rockwell H. Stuckey (1855-1936). Although the bank closed in the 1930s, the building continued to serve the community as a financial institution, with many personnel descended from the bank's founders.
