New York Stock Exchange building, by night

The New York Stock Exchange Building, commonly known as the NYSE Building, is located in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan and serves as the headquarters for the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). It consists of two interconnected structures that occupy part of the city block bordered by Wall Street, Broad Street, New Street, and Exchange Place. The original building at 18 Broad Street, designed in the Classical Revival style by George B. Post, is situated in the central part of the block. The northern section features a 23-story office annex at 11 Wall Street, designed by Trowbridge & Livingston in a similar architectural style.

The marble façade of 18 Broad Street showcases colonnades facing both Broad Street to the east and New Street to the west, both resting on two-story podiums. The Broad Street colonnade, a recognizable symbol of the NYSE, includes a pediment created by artists John Quincy Adams Ward and Paul Wayland Bartlett, representing commerce and industry. In contrast, the façade of 11 Wall Street is more straightforward in design but shares architectural elements with 18 Broad Street. Behind the colonnades of 18 Broad Street lies the main trading floor, a spacious rectangular area that rises 72 feet (22 meters). Additionally, 11 Wall Street houses another trading floor known as the Garage. The upper levels of both buildings contain offices and meeting rooms.(Wikipedia)
