Famous Stock Exchange Buildings and Trading Floors

Markets have been made under Gothic arcades, Napoleonic colonnades and Art Deco towers, and in halls where traders shouted orders until screens took over. This gallery runs roughly in order of when each building went up, from Antwerp's 16th-century bourse to Tokyo's glass ticker ring, with one photo per exchange and a second, of its trading floor, for New York. The test for a place here: a building that markets actually traded in and that still tells you something about how trading worked. Each caption names the exchange, when the building went up and what happened on its floor. Many of these halls no longer host a single trade, so the captions also say what they became. Exchanges that were born electronic, such as Nasdaq, have no trading hall to photograph and are left out.
