23 Wall Street, Neoclassical office building in Financial District, Manhattan, United States
23 Wall Street is a four-story structure at the Wall Street and Broad Street intersection featuring a facade of finely dressed stone and pink Tennessee marble. A prominent cornice crowns the roofline, giving the building a refined upper border.
The structure rose between 1913 and 1914, replacing the earlier Drexel Building on the same site that had housed J.P. Morgan operations. It became the bank's headquarters and a symbol of financial power in the city for decades.
The building emerged when banks used grand architecture to signal strength and earn customer trust through visible permanence. Its facade embodies this desire to express prosperity and stability through stone and marble.
The structure sits at a central corner with multiple subway stations nearby and connects internally to 15 Broad Street for visitor circulation. The area is highly walkable and easily reached by public transportation.
The exterior walls still bear scars and impact marks from the 1920 bombing, which J.P. Morgan intentionally left unrepaired as a historical record. These visible traces serve as a silent memorial to that turbulent moment in financial history.
