Regions Bank Building

Regions Bank Building is an 18-story commercial bank building completed in 1929 with limestone facades and modern Art Deco design elements at 56 St. Joseph Street in downtown Mobile. The structure features five elevators and connects directly to the city's central business district street network.

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 shaped how Mobile's financial district looked and functioned as the city grew economically. It became a landmark that locals associated with the city's modern banking operations.

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.
