Revisiting NYC's Financial District History

Throughout years of dramatic changes in the City, the Financial District of Manhattan (FiDi) has witnessed so much of not only NYC's but also the country's history. Historical events such as the Great Depression in 1930's and the September 11 attacks have made the area become a story in itself. Browsing through countless historical photos of the area and its landscape, I realize what great tools they are in telling stories. We see people, we events, and we see changes. 


But what are some other great storytellers? What are some more permanent records of the area's history, culture, and arts? Buildings. And that's the topic I'm excited to learn more about. Architecture in the Financial District of Manhattan.
