The Bourse
For the exchange of commerce...then and now
A Bourse is a stock exchange. The Philadelphia Bourse was the first in the world
to house simultaneously a stock exchange, maritime exchange, and grain-trading
center. Under the guidance of Philadelphia businessman George Bartol, the
exchange thrived.
However, as the business community moved westward in the city the sun started setting on the Bourse. In 1982, the Bourse was renovated to a combination shopping mall and office complex.
