New York City Wall St.

 

Illustration shows pedestrians and carriage traffic on the street, as well as commercial buildings and financial institutions. Wall Street has become the place where the financial interests of this vast country are centralized. By 1890, the utility poles were removed and the overhead wires were buried.

The United Bank Building, completed in 1881 at 2 Wall Street is on the northeast corner of Broadway. The U.S. Sub-Treasury neoclassic building (now Federal Hall Memorial National Historic Site) is on the corner of Nassau Street. It replaced the old Federal Hall, demolished in 1812. Next to it is the Assay Office Building, at 32 Wall Street, Manhattan, built in 1824 and demolished about 1915.
