Commercial Cable Building adjoins the Stock Exchange at 20 Broad St. An
imposing office building given over to the business of the Commercial
Cable system organized in 1884 by John W. Mackay and James Gordon Bennet.
The offices of the Postal Telegraph-Cable, the German and Pacific cables
are here. Hanover Bank building. Located on the southwest corner of Nassau and Pine Streets. this 22-story building completed in 1901, is justly considered one of the fines office structures in the world. From an artistic standpoint it is a most pleasing example of sky-scraping architecture. ----------- Broad Street around 1915. Looking north from Beaver Street: On the west side of the street between Exchange Place and Wall Street are the Blair Building (Carrère & Hastings, 1902-1903), the Commercial Cable Building (George Edward Harding & Gooch, 1897), and the New York Stock Exchange (George B.
