New Orleans Cotton Exchange
New Orleans Cotton Exchange, National Historic Landmark in French Quarter, New Orleans, US.
The Renaissance palazzo building at 231 Carondelet Street features marble walls, terrazzo floors, and a massive underground vault from its trading operations.
Founded in 1871, the Cotton Exchange managed one-third of all United States cotton production, establishing standardized classifications and introducing futures trading practices.
The Exchange building represents the economic power of New Orleans during the late 19th century, when the city ranked third globally in cotton futures trading.
The Cotton Exchange building now operates as an AC Hotel by Marriott, maintaining many original architectural elements from its 1921 construction.
Colonel Henry G. Hester implemented telegraph systems to distribute cotton market reports, making New Orleans a leader in cotton trade information.
