From Curbside to Cornerstone: How the NYSE Found Its Home on Wall Street
In this installment of This Week in Wall Street History, Todd M. Schoenberger spotlights a landmark moment: on January 4, 1865, the New York Stock Exchange took its first step into permanence—opening at 10–12 Broad Street, at the corner of Wall Street. Founded in 1792 under a buttonwood tree, the Exchange had operated from coffee houses and temporary venues until the rapid economic growth spurred post–Civil War made a permanent home essential. Discover how this move catalyzed structural innovations—from continuous trading and stock tickers to trading posts—and laid the architectural and technological foundations for today’s NYSE, the world’s largest and most iconic securities marketplace.
From coffee-house trades to architectural landmarks, the story of NYSE’s 1865 headquarters reveals how Wall Street became Wall Street. Subscribe to CrossCheck Media for more history that shapes today’s markets.
