Philadelphia Bourse

Philadelphia Bourse

The Philadelphia Bourse was the first commodities exchange in the United States. Completed in 1895, the building was one of the first steel-framed buildings to be constructed in the city. Today, it houses a shopping mall and office complex.

The steel-framed building 'one of the first to be constructed' was built from 1893 to 1895, and was designed by G. W. & W. D. Hewitt in the Beaux-Arts style.
