Description

The most complete profile of the world’s greatest financial center―celebrating the beauty, strength, and resiliency of an atypical community.

On September 11, 2001, the face of Wall Street used to be tragically scarred, but its spirit remains undaunted. At the back of the noble buildings and long-established firms are the women and men who constitute the financial world. These are the souls who have resolved to handle the greatest financial center on this planet. New York’s financial district is among the city’s oldest and most elegant architectural neighborhoods, in addition to home to one of the richest and most powerful organizations on this planet. With over 300 full-color photographs, accompanied by text and captions, Wall Street: Financial Capital is the most comprehensive portrait ever published of this famous district. Robert Gambee’s stunning photographs take us on a complete tour of the city’s centers of finance, including the Wall Street Financial Center, TriBeCa, and midtown Manhattan, revealing Wall Street past and present. Included are the stories of each and every major bank, brokerage house, law firm, and securities exchange, interspersed with anecdotes about Wall Street’s buildings, byways, seaport, and residences. Gambee’s captions are a mine of fascinating history: here used to be John D. Rockefeller’s old Standard Oil company office, there the Old Lawyer’s Club; and here is Pearl Street, once the outer limit of the city, whose name is derived from the oyster shells with which it once used to be paved. Anyone with an interest in finance, architecture, or the history of New York will enjoy this magnificent book. Over 300 color photographs.
