48 Wall Street, known at one time as the Bank of New York Building was built in 1928 on land used by the bank since 1797, on the corner of Wall Street and William Street in New York City's Financial District. Its former banking hall has been modified to house the Museum of American Finance, which moved there in October 2007.
Immediately outside is the entrance for the Wall Street subway station (2 3 trains) on the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line.
Famous quotes containing the words wall and/or street:
“A grimy fly can soil the entire wall and a small, dirty little act can ruin the entire proceedings.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“Everybody has that thing where they need to look one way but they come out looking another way and that’s what people observe. You see someone on the street and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw. It’s just extraordinary that we should have been given these peculiarities.... Something is ironic in the world and it has to do with the fact that what you intend never comes out like you intend it.”
—Diane Arbus (1923–1971)
