20 Exchange Place, Art Deco skyscraper in Financial District, Manhattan, United States
20 Exchange Place is an Art Deco skyscraper in Manhattan's Financial District featuring a granite and limestone facade decorated with banking-themed reliefs. The 57-story structure now contains residential apartments and commercial spaces on its lower levels.
The building was completed in 1931 during the Great Depression and served as the headquarters for City Bank-Farmers Trust Company, which later became part of Citigroup. Upon completion, it was the world's tallest stone-clad structure.
The building blends its function as a financial institution with ornate Art Deco details that visitors can see in the entrance hall and marble areas.
The building stands at the corner of Exchange Place and William Street in the heart of the Financial District. Most publicly accessible areas are found in the lobbies and lower floors, while the upper portions remain private.
The structure relied on a substantial amount of natural stone rather than the steel-frame construction more common at the time. This approach made it the world record holder for stone-clad buildings when it opened.
