Mortimer Building, 19th-century commercial building in Financial District, Manhattan, US

The Mortimer Building stood at the intersection of Wall Street and New Street, with a 57-foot frontage and mahogany-walled interior offices.

The New York Stock Exchange purchased the Mortimer Building in December 1918 for $745,000 to expand their facilities and accommodate foreign trading issues.

Between 1912 and 1917, the Mortimer Building served as the headquarters for the Industrial Workers of the World labor organization.

The building featured modern amenities including steam gas, electric lights, two elevators, and fireproof construction from foundation to roof.

The structure's interior hallways combined marble and mahogany wainscoting, while iron and stone composed the main stairways.
