Since 1922, The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland has served as one of the 12 Federal Banks for the United States of America.  The twelve-story, steel-framed building with marble, granite, and terra-cotta facade is one of city's most elegant structures.  Between 1992 and 1996, the Federal Reserve authorized the complete renovation and an expansion of its Cleveland office.  The total construction cost of the project was over 100 million dollars. Barber & Hoffman's project responsibility included the complete long-term restoration and historic preservation of the existing building's exterior masonry facade.  An in-depth assessment report with opinions of probable repair costs and the creation of masonry facade construction documents preceded a two-year construction phase. Accommodating a high-level building security requirement was a key factor throughout the project.
