The Royal Stock Exchange building, founded in the 16th century, was twice destroyed by fire and subsequently rebuilt in the heart of London. This photo was published February 15, 1920, with The Times article, “A B C of Foreign Exchange,” which said, “Money talks in so many languages that only gold can act as interpreter, and its disuse has made the world a tower of babel.”
Today, the trapezoidal-shaped building, standing between Threadneedle Street and Cornhill, and contains offices, luxury shops and restaurants.
