The Greene County Courthouse Square District is located in the center of Eutaw, a major town of the western Black Belt. It comprises the courthouse and public buildings located on a central square and the commercial establishments facing the square along the four major streets: Main, Prairie, Boligee and Morrow. Visually the district is dominated by the mid-19th century Courthouse and the tree-shaded square. The buildings lining the blocks around the square are one and two stories, masonry and typical of the late 19th- and early 20th century commercial buildings in smaller Mabama towns. Brick, stucco and concrete block which simulates stone are the dominant materials Few of the buildings are elaborate and only seven rise above one story in height. Architectural ornamentation is largely limited to restrained decorative brick work and a few metal cornices, with some buildings, most notably those on the southern side of the square, void of any decorative detailing. Two buildings provide notable exceptions; both were constructed in the mid-1880s. The two-storied Banks and Company makes use of bold wall panels, some with curves in the angles; quoins, dentils and brackets made of stepped out bricks; and windows crowned by hood molds of various types. The 1882 Old Bank Building has a rusticated facade of stucco in imitation of stone and features three round arches with the doorway centered between windows and a paneled attic treatment. - NRHP, 29 October 1979
