Early Wall Street: 1830ndash;1940 traces the development of New Yorkrsquo;s financial district; from the low-lying city of the early 19th century; through the building boom of the 1870s and 1880s; and into the skyscraper era. A sequence of views shows 40 Wall Street as a modest three-story walk-up topped by a figure from Greek mythology; then the stately Victorian structure that replaced it; and finally; the skyscraper that missed being the tallest building in the world by a spirersquo;s length. A rare 1860s photograph captures the first New York Stock Exchange building when the marble on the exterior was still pristine. In these images; Wall Street celebrates; and Wall Street mourns. Stagecoaches clog Broadway; clipper ships dock at East River piers; and elevated trains chug through the financial district.

So sad she had a touch childhood and then ended up with abusive jerks.. so sad for her ; too bad she didnt have more time to live life; learn how to love herself and be loved by a gentleman that would treat her like she deserved.
