The Financial Times: first world war explosion; basement-dwelling goldfish; first loan to be bundled and securitised

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The Financial Times mentioned it.

The Adams Express Building in lower Manhattan has a colourful history that includes a first world war explosion and the discovery of basement-dwelling goldfish.

Perhaps of greater relevance to its Wall Street neighbours, the loan used to build the near century-old skyscraper was also one of the first to be bundled and securitised into a commercial real estate bond.

Beware the American Skyscraper entry

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The often referenced book by Joseph Korom, The American Skyscraper, 1850-1940: A Celebration of Height (Wellesley, MA: Branden Books, 2008), on page 313 seems to have confused the Adams Express Building at 61 Broadway with the American Express Building at 65 Broadway. This error appears also to have adversely affected Korom's account of the history of the two companies.AlVieri (talk) 18:38, 12 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
