Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Salt Lake City Branch

[9][10][7] In December 1918, or soon after, the branch moved into the newly built Deseret National Bank building on the northeast corner of the intersection of Main Street and 100 South.

[15] The building was designed by local architects Ramm Hansen, Don Carlos Young Jr. and Harry P. Poll, with P. J. Walker and Company of San Francisco managing construction.

The structure was two stories in height, with a basement; its exterior was glazed granite brick with terracotta cornice and trimmings, and it included a large bronze entrance along South Temple.

This was done under the watch of city detectives, police, marines, secret service, and regular bank guards and employees.

With the opening of the new building, Salt Lake City became the first branch of the San Francisco bank to have its own, purpose-built structure.

[20] After the Federal Reserve branch was moved from the building in 1959, it was purchased by Zions Security Corporation, a for-profit entity owned by the LDS Church.

[22] This structure was demolished in 1984 to make way for the Eagle Gate Plaza and Tower (currently called the World Trade Center at City Creek).

During the move, police, agents and guards closed the sidewalks and street, keeping people away from the secret, hour-long operation (and in some cases preventing them from leaving nearby buildings), while shooters were positioned along the route.

Armored trucks delivering money are able to drive down into an underground court which is equipped with a turntable to flip the vehicles back around.
