Wall Street, New York Financil District Photos

Wall Street, with the New York Stock Exchange & important financial buildings located nearby, has become another term for financial center of the USA. Wall Street marks what was the northern palisade of New Amsterdam. Beside the Stock Market, other buildings of note include Federal Hall (first Capitol of the United States under the 1789 Constitution), The Trump Building (originally Bank of Manhattan short-term record as world's tallest in 1930), & Trinity Church marking the end of the Street. The Financial District of New York City surrounds Wall Street.
