The Federal Reserve Bank of New York Building, also known as 33 Liberty Street, is a building in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan in New York City, which serves as the headquarters of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The building occupies the full block between Liberty, William, and Nassau Streets and Maiden Lane; it narrows at its east end, following the footprint of the block.
The Federal Reserve Building has fourteen above-ground stories and five basement levels, designed by
The building was erected from 1919 to 1924, with an eastward extension built in 1935. The Federal Reserve Building's design and scale was largely praised upon its completion. The building was designated a city landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1966 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1980. It is a contributing property to the Wall Street Historic District, an NRHP district created in 2007.
Site
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York Building is in the Financial District of Manhattan in New York City. It occupies the entire block bounded by Nassau Street to the west, Liberty Street to the south, William Street to the east, and Maiden Lane to the north.[3][4] The Federal Reserve Building is surrounded by numerous other structures, including the John Street Methodist Church, Home Insurance Plaza, and 63 Nassau Street to the north; 28 Liberty Street to the south; 140 Broadway to the southwest; and the Liberty Tower and the Chamber of Commerce Building to the west.[3]
The building's land lot has a total area of 49,440 square feet (4,593 m2).[5] The site slopes downward from southwest to northeast.[6][7] The Liberty Street facade contains a gradual slope, with the western end being about 17.5 feet (5 m) higher than the eastern end.[7] There is also a steeper slope downward along Nassau Street from Liberty Street northward to Maiden Lane. Much of the Maiden Lane side faces the building's raised basement.[6][8]
The Federal Reserve Building's lot has a frontage of 408.08 feet (124 m) on Liberty Street and extends 164.75 feet (50 m) deep.[5] The building narrows at its east end, following the footprint of the block.[4] As built, the Federal Reserve Building occupied all except the east end of the block, with frontage of 365 feet (111 m) on Liberty Street, 388 feet (118 m) on Maiden Lane, and 152.11 feet (46.36 m) on Nassau Street.[6][7] The annex at the east end of the block has 44 feet (13 m) of frontage on Liberty Street, 79 feet (24 m) of frontage on William Street, and 24 feet (7.3 m) on Maiden Lane.[9][10]

Architecture
The Federal Reserve Building is where the
The building has fourteen above-ground stories and five basement levels.[4][24][25] Because the design was intended to accommodate up to 4,000 employees, the placement of elevators and entrances was a main consideration.[7] Since Nassau Street was such a busy street, and because the slope was so steep, the architects decided to place the main entrance at Liberty Street instead, with the service entrance along the raised basement at Maiden Lane.[8][26] The facade and interior contain ironwork manufactured by Samuel Yellin of Philadelphia.[24][27][28] The iron decorations, which weigh a collective 200 short tons (180 long tons; 180 t), depict animal heads and unusual motifs such as smileys.[29]
The design is reminiscent of early
Facade
The
The lowest two stories of the facade comprise the building's base and are deeply rusticated. The main entrance is through a double-height arch on the Liberty Street
The third story is surrounded by a balcony with a stone
The tenth story contains smaller arched windows set between the corbels of a cornice that runs atop that story. The upper floors are above the cornice. The eleventh floor contains a single rectangular window corresponding to each of the vertical bays on the lower stories.[37] The twelfth and thirteenth floors are contained within an arched loggia that runs around the exterior.[36][37] These stories are slightly set back behind a 14-foot-wide (4.3 m) balcony running around the building.[6][8] The roof is clad in quarry tile.[24]
Interior
The main entrance arch on Liberty Street leads to a large entrance hall with a
Most of the remaining interior was described as being of "standard office building construction", according to The Wall Street Journal.[33] The structure was designed with just over 462,000 square feet (42,900 m2) of office space.[6][8] Numerous corridors were built on the second floor, connecting to the offices there,[38] and a conference room originally occupied one side of the second floor.[6][8] The third through twelfth floors contained loft working spaces that could accommodate several thousand employees. Each of these stories originally contained 32,000 square feet (3,000 m2).[6][8][39] The tenth floor contained the officers' quarters.[33] Recreational facilities for employees were placed on the top floors. The thirteenth and fourteenth floors contained cafeterias, which were originally separate facilities for women, men, and bank officers. There was also an employee's hospital and a gymnasium.[6][7][8]
In the basement are six vaults that store money and securities. The gold vault and two other vaults are guarded by 230-short-ton (210-long-ton; 210 t) doors and frames, while the remaining vaults are guarded by smaller 185-short-ton (165-long-ton; 168 t) doors and frames.[33][44][45] Also in the basement were the building's mechanical equipment, which included electric generators and ventilation systems.[33] The vaults are also protected by armed security forces, who have their own firing range in the building.[41]
Gold vault
The Federal Reserve Building's three-story gold vault is toward the western end of the site, adjoining Nassau Street.
The vault is 30 feet (9.1 m) below and 100 feet (30 m) away from the nearest New York City Subway tunnels.[29] The foundations of the Federal Reserve Building were constructed to withstand the weight of the gold vault and its contents, which would have exceeded the weight limits of almost any other foundation.[29][46] Ninety-nine concrete piers, extending to the underlying bedrock, were poured to support the weight of the building.[33][44] The vault walls consist of steel layers reinforced with concrete.[29][46] The eastern wall of the vault is about 10 feet (3.0 m) thick while the other three walls are about 8 feet (2.4 m) thick.[33] The only entrance is 90-short-ton (80-long-ton; 82 t) circular door inside a 140-short-ton (120-long-ton; 130 t) frame; when closed, the vault door forms a complete hermetic seal.[29][46] The vault is additionally secured by listening devices, motion sensors, and cameras.[46][51] As of 2018[update], there has never been a successful break-in attempt,[29] though a fictional robbery of the vault was depicted in the 1995 film Die Hard with a Vengeance.[41][52]
Inside the vault are 122 gold compartments, each containing the deposits of one account holder, as well as various shelves for smaller account holders. The account holders are identified by numbers for anonymity.[29][41][46] Gold bars are weighed and tested for purity whenever they are deposited.[46]
The Fed charges $1.75 to move each bar of gold.[41][50] Gold bars are moved between the compartments whenever one account holder pays another. Staff wear steel-toe footwear to protect their feet in case they drop one of the gold bars weighing 28 pounds (13 kg).[41][50] Every time the compartments are opened or gold is moved, three Fed staff members are required to oversee the transaction. Each compartment is further locked behind a padlock, two combination locks, and the seal of the Fed's auditor.[29][50] The Fed does not publicly record whenever gold bars are moved in and out of the vault, and no one except account holders or auditors is allowed to look at the bars. While the Fed does conduct public tours of the vault, visitors are only allowed to see a display sample of gold.[35][50]
History
In 1913 the United States Congress passed the
Planning
The New York Fed's directors passed a resolution on October 24, 1917, providing for the construction of a new headquarters building.[33][56] The Fed decided to buy the entire city block bounded by Nassau, Liberty, and William Streets and Maiden Lane.[6] In May 1918, the Fed bought about 33,000 square feet (3,100 m2) on the block. The New York Fed's staff had grown from 175 to 1,200 in the past year, but the bank wished to wait until the end of World War I to build its headquarters.[57][59] By early 1919, the Fed had bought more land on Liberty Street and Maiden Lane, increasing its land holdings to 43,500 square feet (4,040 m2).[60][61] The only structure on the block that the Fed did not acquire was the Montauk Building on William Street, as the Fed and the Montauk Building's owners could not agree on a sale price.[62][63][c] The site had been fully acquired by June 1919[64] at a total cost of close to $5 million.[33][56][65][d] Several lots were also acquired on nearby Gold Street for a storage facility.[66]
Six architectural firms were invited to take part in an
Former Currency controller John Skelton Williams objected to the building's projected $25 million cost, including land expenses, and claimed the architects and engineers' fees alone were to cost $1.1 million.[71] In response, Federal Reserve chairman William P. G. Harding said that the original estimated cost was only about $18 million, and that the new building's cost was justified by the size of the New York Fed's staff.[72][73] The Fed was able to reduce the construction cost by $5 million by early 1924. This was largely because of reduced construction costs after adjusting for inflation.[74] Ultimately, the building cost $13.865 million excluding land acquisition, or $18.715 million in total.[40]
Construction and early years
The structures on the building site were torn down starting in May 1921 and the site was cleared by that September.[56] The architects filed construction plans with the Manhattan Bureau of Buildings in July 1921.[75] The foundation was dug to the underlying layer of bedrock, up to 117 feet (36 m) deep. Afterward, the vault's door and frame were lowered into the foundation.[56] According to the Wall Street Journal, it was the largest ever foundation to be built in New York City at the time. About 121,000 cubic yards (93,000 m3) of material was removed.[33] This process was made more difficult due to the presence of numerous buildings nearby, which had to be shored up during the excavation.[33][56] The cornerstone was laid with a brief ceremony on May 31, 1922, after the foundations had been completed.[65][76]
Marc Eidlitz & Son started constructing the Federal Reserve Building's structural system after the excavations had finished. The steel framework was in place by the end of 1922, followed by the facade in mid-1923. Some of the 2,600 employees of the New York Fed started occupying their new offices in June 1924.
By January 1934, the Fed purchased the Montauk Building for less than $400,000,[9][10] thereby acquiring a land lot of 2,900 square feet (270 m2).[79] This had been the only structure on the city block that the Fed had been unable to acquire when it started assembling land for the Federal Reserve Building fifteen years prior.[9][10] York and Sawyer was hired to design the addition, while Marc Eidlitz & Son was hired as the main construction contractor. The Montauk Building's last tenants vacated the building in June 1934, and demolition of the Montauk Building started.[23][80] By the next month, plans for the annex were filed with the Manhattan Department of Buildings.[81] The executive offices of the annex were formally opened in December 1935, but some of the lower floors were occupied several weeks before that.[79]
Mid- and late 20th century
The building came to be known as the "Old Lady of Liberty Street".[82] It initially did not contain a name identification sign above its main entrance because the Fed had thought the building to be distinctive enough. A name sign was installed in 1944 after numerous war bondholders complained that they had gotten lost for several hours in the Financial District while looking for the building.[82] By that decade, the New York Fed had outgrown its headquarters and had leased additional space at 51 Pine Street, 70 Pine Street, and 95 Maiden Lane.[83] The New York Fed also acquired some land in 1964 on Maiden Lane between Nassau and John Streets, intending to construct an office tower just north of 33 Liberty Street. The tower was intended to house 1,500 of the New York Fed's 4,500 employees, which worked at four separate structures near the Federal Reserve Building. However, the project was canceled in 1976 due to rising costs.[84]
Much of the building's gold arrived during and after World War II as countries sought to store their gold in a safe location. By the end of World War II, the reserves of gold inside the vault were valued at $4 billion (equivalent to $54 billion in 2023).[35] At its peak in 1973, the vault contained over 12,000 short tons (11,000 metric tons) of gold.[46] The reserves declined in subsequent years because, in 1971, the direct international convertibility of the United States dollar to gold had been canceled in what was called the Nixon shock.[35]
Between December 1973 and May 1974, a replica of the
21st century
Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, which resulted in the collapse of the World Trade Center nearby, the New York Fed continued to operate. The building was temporarily evacuated after the attacks because of fears the nearby One Liberty Plaza would collapse. For several weeks after the attacks, the Federal Reserve used its building to provide assistance to first responders working at the World Trade Center site.[56] The building was not damaged during the attacks, though dust from the collapse of the World Trade Center settled onto the facade.[56] The Federal Reserve Building was renovated between 2007 and 2008, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Buffalo Branch was closed.[56] The New York Fed purchased the neighboring 33 Maiden Lane in 2012.[11][12]
An audit of the New York Fed's gold was conducted in 2012 after politicians and investors expressed concern that the New York Fed was not accurately stating how much gold was in the vault.[35] The vast majority of the bars audited were found to be of sufficient purity.[50] Also in 2012, a 21-year-old man was arrested while attempting to detonate a bomb outside the Federal Reserve Building. The device was actually a decoy given by undercover law enforcement, and he was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison.[89]
Impact
Critical reception
The Federal Reserve Building was largely praised upon its completion, especially for its large scale. Margaret Law, writing for
At the time of the Federal Reserve Building's construction, many bank buildings in the United States had been built in the neoclassical style.[39][91] The Architectural Record praised the Federal Reserve Building's design as being distinctive "without resorting to the usual orders of architecture", namely neoclassical designs.[91] The design of the Federal Reserve Building inspired that of other subsequent bank buildings.[4][1][39] Architectural writer Robert A. M. Stern stated that the building's "innovative" Florentine design had inspired other banks to be built in a similar style. Stern wrote that the structure "demonstrate[d] how a bank could achieve strong visual identity even if located within an office building".[39]
Landmark designations
The building was designated a landmark by the LPC on December 21, 1965. It was one of the first landmarks to be designated by the LPC in Manhattan.[1][92][93] The city landmark designation was opposed by the building's owner, the Fed, which wrote that federal property could not be regulated by local governments.[1] The Federal Reserve Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on May 6, 1980.[2] It is also a contributing property to the Wall Street Historic District,[94] an NRHP district created in 2007.[95]
