Text Appearing After Image:
^ A Rare View of Wall Street from Broad Street, 1825 A unique sketch of contemporary date, giving an excellent idea of street traffic and costumes of that early period. The corner at the left (Law Book) is now occupied by the new addition to the Stock Exchange. Back of this was Josiah Hoffman's law office where Washington Irving studied law. To the rear of what is now the new Stock Exchange building is a small street called New Street because it was "new" when the Dutch burghers first built it three hundred years ago and the name has never been changed. The church in the center is, of course, old Trinity. The tall building with steeple is the First Presbyterian Church, used as a hospital during the Revolution. This church is now on Fifth Avenue near 12th Street. The little two-story wooden building with the awning was a famous tavern in its day kept by John Simmons. Washington dined here and the first Mayor of New York was appointed here. Owned by I. N. Phelps Stokes in "Inconography of New York." (c)
