The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Jacksonville Branch Office is one of the five branch offices of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. The Jacksonville branch is part of the Sixth Federal Reserve District.
The Jacksonville Branch currently conducts tours by appointment. Admission is free.
History The Jacksonville branch opened in 1918, the same year as the Birmingham branch, making both among the earliest branches established in the Sixth Federal Reserve District following the pioneering New Orleans branch of 1915. Since its founding, the branch has relocated four times, each move into successively larger quarters to accommodate growth in its operations.
A purpose-built facility at the corner of Hogan and Church Streets, designed by architects Henrietta Cuttino Dozier and A. Ten Eyck Brown, opened in 1924. The branch vacated that building in 1952 when a newer facility was constructed. In 1927, the branch appointed Mary E. Mahon as assistant cashier, making her the first woman officer in the history of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
Board of directors The Jacksonville Branch board of directors has seven members: four appointed by the Atlanta board of directors, and three appointed by the Board of Governors.
