A strange request this is.

I need a bit of help as regards the New York Stock Exchange, ok, dont laugh.
Im finding itdifficult to find the information I need on the net, so, maybe someone can advise me.

The NYSE during the 'wall street crash' were was the actual building itself.
Is this building still in use as The Stock Exchange.
Have you ever been inside, if so, is there an entrance hall, with names engraved on the walls.

Thanks.
I know Im nuts, but thereswisdom in my madness.

As far as I know it is in the same building. New Jersey tried to lure the Exchange away from New York. The bastards. Just another reason to hate New Jersey.

There used to be guided tours but they ended after 9/11 and there is a question of whether or not they will restart.

I don't know anything about a wall of names but I don't remember seeing one when I visited the place. But then again, I have been called older than dirt so my memory might be faulty.

Thanks Frogger. I take it that way back then the one building would have serviced ALL stock trading.
Im actually looking forsomeone from a story I was told when I was a kid.
Unfortunatly, Irish are good story tellers, I just would like to check it out.
If my memory from history lessons serves me, during or after the crash a party of American Industrialists invested large amount of money in the NYSE to basically kick start it.
Guys like Henry Ford,another,I think his surnams was Ludovik, and some others. If I could just findtheir names. I was told of a family member who was one of these guys and that their names are engraved in the entrance hall,its probably bullshit I know.

I think you are referring to Richard Whitney who walked around the stock exchange buying shares in an attempt to stop the panic that caused the crash of '29.

Right. Tho I was led to believe the then President invited all these top notch businessmen to DC, and thats how it got going again, I thought therewere about 6 of them.

Could have been but I know nothing about that.
