Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland
Clevelanders united behind a similar project for their downtown, hoping to improve the rapid and haphazard development of the city with a series of architecturally impressive public buildings.
Ground was broken for the Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank building on March 15, 1921. The structure would be the new headquarters of the Fourth Federal Reserve District, one of twelve districts in the nation's central banking system created under the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
