Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas

The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas (informally referred to as the Dallas Fed) is one of 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks that, along with the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., make up the Federal Reserve System, the central bank of the United States. The Dallas Fed covers the Eleventh Federal Reserve District, which includes Texas, northern Louisiana and southern New Mexico, a region sometimes referred to as the Oil Patch.

The Dallas bank is located at 2200 Pearl St. in the Uptown neighborhood of Oak Lawn, just north of downtown Dallas and the Dallas Arts District. Prior to 1992, the bank was located at 400 S. Akard Street, in the Government District in downtown. The older Dallas Fed building, which opened in 1921, was designed in the Beaux-Arts style. It is a large limestone structure with massive carved eagles and additional significant detailing; it is a City of Dallas Designated Landmark structure. The current Dallas Fed building, opened in September 1992, was designed by three architectural firms: Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, New York; Sikes Jennings Kelly & Brewer, Houston; and John S. Chase, FAIA, Dallas and Houston. Dallas-based Austin Commercial Inc. served as project manager and general contractor.

The Dallas Fed has branch offices in El Paso, Houston, and San Antonio. It is the only federal reserve bank with every branch located in the same state. Provided by Wikipedia
