Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland

The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland is the Cleveland-based headquarters of the U.S. Federal Reserve System's Fourth District. The district is composed of Ohio, western Pennsylvania, eastern Kentucky, and the northern panhandle of West Virginia. It has branch offices in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. The check processing center in Columbus, Ohio was closed in 2005. The chief executive officer and president is Sandra Pianalto.

The bank building, located at Superior Avenue and East Sixth Street in downtown Cleveland was designed by the Cleveland firm of Walker and Weeks and completed in 1923. Its exterior architecture emulates an Italian Renaissance palazzo, is clad in pink Sienna marble. An extension to the building designed by HOK was completed in 1998, providing new facilities for check processing and cash handling. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The building's entrances feature allegorical sculptures by Henry Hering representing "Security" and "Integrity" flanking the East Sixth Street entrance, while his "Energy" watches the Superior Avenue entry. Its original 90 Mg (100 ton) vault door is the largest in the world. In January 2006, the bank opened its Learning Center and Money Museum, replacing the public teller windows vacated after September 11, 2001.
