CLEVELAND — The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland is marking a major milestone this month; the bank’s iconic building at East 6th Street and Superior is marking 100 years since it first opened its doors in August of 1923. As part of the celebration, the bank’s Education and Learning Center, formerly known as the Money Museum, debuted Monday a new exhibit celebrating the occasion. The exhibit is open to the public Monday through Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The 13-story building itself was actually constructed after the completion, in a sense, of a smaller building inside that housed the bank vault. A two-story structure with walls of concrete, armor and reinforcing steel 6.5 feet thick. The vault door, which is 10 feet in diameter, comes in at 100 tons balancing on a 19-foot hinge. It was meant to send a message that not only the bank but the banking system was safe and secure.
Yes, much like cathedrals and grand places of worship were built to make you feel small amidst the greatness of the God that was being worshiped there, this building looked to do the same. It looked to inspire faith of a different kind, faith in the banking system.
