    DescriptionIn 1792 twenty-four brokers met on what is now Wall Street and set a minimum commission on the sale of stocks. Wall Street actually takes its name from the cross path that linked the two sides of a wooden wall built around New Amsterdam by the Dutch in fortification against the English in the mid 1600s. The cool neo-classical temple façade, featuring Corinthian columns and eleven pedimental figures, belies the frenzy of activity that goes on daily behind the doors of perhaps the world's most powerful financial institution.
