The Old OCBC Bank Building is located a short distance from the present building. It is a three-storey structure built in 1936 in the Art Deco style which was fashionable during that time. The OCBC logo, unchanged since the 1930's can be seen on the building.

The facade of the old OCBC Building was surfaced in Shanghai plaster which gives it a greyish appearance. The two upper floors are finished with vertical columns of plasters, with a ring motif framing the central portion.
