I think that's on purpose (and the original building was built in 1964.)

"This building lives in most Austinites' memory as a spacious mid-century inspired bank lobby," said Michael Hsu, principal of Michael Hsu Office of Architecture. "We used that history, and hopefully some of the original parts, as an inspiration for its next chapter. The updated building is designed to the user who wants an authentic downtown experience and a creative and boutique design spirit as opposed to a more standard office building finish out."
