New York Stock Exchange façade

Why go

The Broad Street frontage turns the exchange’s financial role into a public architectural statement. Look at the deep columns, the carved pediment, and the building’s relationship to the narrow street in front. Seeing the façade alongside neighboring Federal Hall and Wall Street landmarks helps explain how institutions projected authority in the city’s historic financial core.

What to look for

• View the columns and sculpture from the public street as part of a Wall Street circuit.

Useful to know

• This recommendation is for the exterior only; do not assume public access to the trading floor. Street security or events may alter the best vantage.
