The People's State Bank was cast in the commercial style of architecture and has detailing heavily influenced by Classical Revival, a popular style for bank buildings at the time.
The building, a one-story structure, stands on a concrete foundation with 12 inch (30 cm) thick walls, and a full basement.
The Classical detailing is emphasized through the use of brick, glass, and concrete throughout the building.
The simple design exhibits several Classical Revival influences, among them: its masonry construction, giving it a sturdy appearance, its symmetry, the brick divides on the wall which resemble pilasters, and the semi circular fanlights on the above the east and west facade windows.
The size of the interior lobby further emphasized the feeling of solidity, which banks wished to convey to their customers.

The 30 foot (9 m) by 64 foot (20 m) rectangular building is composed of brick and features terrazzo flooring.
The building is the most ornate of the commercial buildings in downtown Orangeville and is situated on the area's second highest lot.
The main entrance, a large wooden, glass paneled door, is recessed and central on the symmetrical south (front) facade of the building.
The original door is surrounded by sidelights and topped by a diamond patterned transom window.
Flanking the central doorway on each side is a one over one window, each displaying the same diamond patterned transoms as the door.
