There are few places as important to American business as the New York Stock Exchange.
The exchange is celebrating its 225th anniversary this week, and a multimillion-dollar renovation completed in February pays homage to its past in every conference room. Walking around the exchange's many rooms above the trading floor, you'll see historical artifacts like a signed letter from Thomas Edison, a gift from Czar Nicholas II of Russia, and a signed guitar from Jimmy Page.
California-based real estate development company Five Point Holdings held its IPO on the morning of our visit. Excitement filled the floor as the opening bell rang and the executive team cheered.
After the bell, traders worked during the price discovery process on the exchange floor.
Just next to the trading floor is the Buttonwood Room, where 250 brokers, clerks, market makers, and clearing firm employees work.
Upstairs on the seventh floor, you'll find the Buttonwood Agreement, the signed document that founded the New York Stock Exchange in 1792. Named after the tree that the men sat under while signing it, the agreement holds the signatures of 24 founding members of the New York Stock Exchange.
