After the Great Fire of 1835, which destroyed the 1827 New York Merchants' Exchange building, the Exchange purchased lots and hired Isaiah Rogers to erect a new building in 1836. As this building was not completed until 1841, this is likely a prospective view. Samuel Benedict had had his business at the corner of Wall and William streets until 1835.
Wall Street in Lower Manhattan is one of the most famous streets in the world, known for its role in the international financial system. Wall Street is the symbolic and geographic center of American capitalism. Geographically, Wall Street is the center of Manhattan's financial district. It runs east/west for eight blocks from Broadway to South Street. The Street ran along a physical wall built by Dutch settlers when New York was still a Dutch Colony. Then-Governor Peter Stuyvesant ordered a 10-foot wooden wall that protected the lower peninsula from the British and Native Americans. It later became a street bazaar where traders met under a now-famous buttonwood tree. New York Stock Exchange is located on 11 Wall Street.
