Regions Bank Building, Commercial bank building in Mobile, Alabama
Regions Bank Building is an 18-story, 236-foot (72 m) Art Deco high-rise completed in 1929 in downtown Mobile, Alabama. Designed by Chicago firm Graham, Anderson, Probst & White, it has a copper-plated pyramidal roof; the height to the base of the pyramid is 190 feet (58 m). It was converted into an 82-unit apartment complex between 2018 and 2020.
The building was designed in 1929 by the architectural firm Graham, Anderson, Probst & White during a period of economic growth in American banking. It has continuously served banking functions from its opening through multiple financial institutions to the present day.
The building's copper-plated pyramidal roof, rising to 190 feet at its base, is the feature Mobilians use to pick it out on the skyline. Since 2020 the former bank floors have held 82 apartments, so the 1929 tower is now lived in rather than worked in.
The building is easy to reach from St. Joseph Street and navigating its interior is straightforward thanks to the five elevators. Its direct connection to the surrounding business district makes it convenient to explore nearby areas on foot.
The building has remained a functioning bank for nearly a century despite major shifts in the financial industry. This continuous banking use through multiple institutions makes it an unusual survivor of economic change in the business district.
