About this property

The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Nashville Branch Office is one of the five branch offices of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. The Nashville branch is part of the Sixth Federal Reserve District and serves the Middle and East Tennessee region. The branch currently operates from leased commercial office space at 333 Commerce Street in downtown Nashville. The Nashville branch opened in 1919, the last of the original four branches established in the Sixth Federal Reserve District, following the New Orleans branch (1915) and the Birmingham and Jacksonville branches (both 1918). A purpose-built facility at 226 Third Avenue North was completed and dedicated in December 1922, designed by Nashville architectural firm Marr & Holman in association with Atlanta architect A. Ten Eyck Brown. The building, constructed in the Classical Revival style with four limestone Ionic columns and a pedimented portico, was located in downtown Nashville's financial district, then known as the "Wall Street of the South." The branch occupied the Third Avenue building until 1958, when it relocated to a new facility on Eighth Avenue North (now Rosa L. Parks Boulevard). In the 1950s, growing check volumes across the Sixth District had prompted the construction of new branch facilities in Nashville, Birmingham, and Jacksonville. The former Nashville Branch building at 226 Third Avenue North was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Designed in the Classical Revival style, it is considered one of the finest examples of that style in Nashville and is a contributing structure within the Nashville Financial Historic District. The building was sold in 2018 to Nashville entrepreneur Bill Miller. === Appointed by the Atlanta board of directors === Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Birmingham Branch Office Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Jacksonville Branch Office Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Miami Branch Office Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta New Orleans Branch Office Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Nashville Branch Office
