Wall Street Stock Exchange
Home to the illustrious New York Stock exchange, America made one of its
greatest architectural statements amongst many other audacious buildings.
Taking its name from a defense wall marking the northern limit built by the
Dutch in 1653, Wall Street's commerce has always been the fortitude of New
York's economic prosperity. Birthed out of brokerage signed by 24 agents
in 1792, the NYSE's cost for a seat increased from $25 to 2 million
dollars in the 21st century. Even the viewing gallery has been closed since
2001, it is well worth the while to stroll by Wall Street and the nearby
surrounding area.
