About the Duncan Savings & Loan building. Randy Elliott of Elliott & Associates commented: "The use of masonry was intended to exemplify strength and solidity with the unusual use of brick coursing meant to be the building's real personality. Stack bond soldier coursing, a dark modular brick with a light joint, gives a powerful yet graceful appearance and allows attention to detail." The mason contractor on the building was Phillips Masonry Products.
