The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is the largest stock exchange in the world by dollar amount. It has 2,764 listed securities, making it the second most securities of all stock exchanges. The beginnings of the New York Stock Exchange goes back to the Buttonwood Agreement signed on 17 May, 1792, by twenty-four stock brokers. Its name came about because they met under a buttonwood tree. The group drafted a constitution, and called itself the New York Stock & Exchange Board.
The iconic building of the New York Stock Exchange is at 18 Broad Street, between the corners of Wall Street and Exchange Place. It was designed in the Neoclassical style by George B. Post, and was opened on 22 April, 1903, and cost $4 million. At its opening, it had the largest volume space area within a building, at 109 feet by 140 feet (33 x 42.5m), with a skylight 72 feet (22m) high. On the pediment in the main facade are sculptured reliefs by John Quincy Adams Ward entitled "Integrity Protecting the Works of Man". Below it are six corinthian capitals. It was designated a National Historic Landmark and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
