Description The Old Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia building at 925 Chestnut Street at S. 10th Streets in the Market East neighborhood of Center City, Philadelphia was built in 1931-35 and was designed by Paul Philippe Cret in the Neoclassical style influenced by Beaux-Arts. It features sculptures by Alfred Bottiau. A formal garden, designed by Cret, was added in 1941, and a recessed s7th story was added by Harbeson, Hough, Livingston and Larson, Cret's suscessor firm, in 1952-53. The building is now part of the Jefferson University Hospital's Center City campus. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 28, 1979.

This image shows the sculture by Bottiau to the east of the main entrance.
