First of all if you want a tour you need to call 214-922-5250 or check out the web page at www.dallasfed.org . They only conduct tours by appointment and only on Tuesday and Thursday from 10am-2pm. An contrary to all the rumors they do not have samples to hand out. Also there is no gold stored here.
This is the Dallas Federal Reserve District 11 and they are located at 2200 N Pearl and Woodall Rodgers service road. The Fed has been located in Uptown since 1992 and I am sure they will be here for many years to come. The Fed began here in Dallas in November 1914 and the 11th district covers all of Texas and parts of all the surrounding states. They are the Central
Bank of the United States. You should know about what they do mostly because they have been in the news a lot lately.
Part of the tour I went on years ago allowed us to get into the money handing area.Behind thick glass and with video cameras everywhere.We could not actually get to the money just look at it on the carts. Each cart holds 300,000 bills and there are carts for all denominations. 300,000 20 dollar bills a truly amazing sight to see . There may not be any gold ,but,there sure is a lot of green. Anyway if you get a chance to tour the building you will enjoy yourself.
For those of you that use Harwood street to get downtown. You have been warned. The Harwood bridge across Woodall Rodgers will soon be closed and will be a become part of a park.Never to be a street again. School Zones Started Today ! Watch out for the kids .
