Federal Reserve Building Review

This imposing marble edifice, its bronze entryway topped by a massive eagle, was designed by Folger Library architect Paul Cret. Its appearance seems to say, "Your money's safe with us." Even so, there's no money here (the Fed sets interest rates and thereby tries to keep the economy on track). The building's stately facade belies a friendlier interior, with a varied collection of art and two to three special art exhibitions every year.
