Tontine Coffee House, Financial meeting house in Wall Street, New York, United States.

The Tontine Coffee House stood at 82 Wall Street, constructed with red brick in a neoclassical style featuring multiple windows and a sloped roof.

Founded in 1793 through the sale of 203 shares, this establishment became the first home of what later evolved into the New York Stock Exchange.

Merchants, politicians, and traders gathered at this establishment to conduct business transactions, exchange news, and participate in social activities throughout the day.

The coffee house operated as both a commercial center and social club, providing spaces for auctions, meetings, and evening entertainment until 1826.

The building incorporated a tontine investment structure where shareholders received increasing dividends as other investors passed away.
