Description:
|
OLD CITY. Wedged between Market and Chestnut Streets, the Philadelphia Bourse Building was completed in 1895 and modeled after the Hamburg Bourse, a traditional center of commerce where local merchants could gather to exchange commodities and arrange the buying, selling and shipping of wares. Today, the Bourse still plays an important role in the local economy, only now it is as a retail center that features everything from cheese steak joints to souvenir shops; there's even a Ritz movie theater. The Bourse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. |
