6 Stop 6 of 12 on Hamilton Invented the Money

Forty-Eight Wall Street

Wall Street, New York City

A Preview

"Forty-eight Wall Street. Thirty-two stories of limestone with, right on the top, a little colonial temple with columns and a cupola — as though somebody set a Georgian mansion on the roof of a skyscraper. Somebody did, on purpose. This was the Bank of New York, and the bank wanted the whole street to remember how old it was. The Bank of New York opened in seventeen eighty-four."
