  • Toronto's Edwardian Skyscraper
    REPORTS | RAPPORTS TORONTO’S EDWARDIAN SKYSCRAPER ROW DAVID WINTERTON is a graduate of the University > DAVID E. WINTERTON of Toronto and McGill University. He is currently a Senior Associate at Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA) in New York. Previously he worked at the Toronto heritage architecture firm ERA Architects where he deepened his knowledge and admiration his paper will investigate exem- of the architectural history of Toronto and of his Tplars of commercial architecture birthplace, southwestern Ontario. He continues from Toronto’s prolific early twentieth- century building period (1900 to 1916), to cultivate that interest and focuses his ongoing often referred to stylistically in Canada research on the rich material culture of the early as Edwardian,1 through two lenses. The twentieth century in the Great Lakes region. introduction of the skyscraper—that most American of built form—to Toronto’s flourishing new banking district is the first lens. That story aims to unravel the influ- ences on Toronto architecture emanating from Chicago (through technological advances in commercial architecture), New York (where Beaux-Arts rules were stretched to compose tall building façades), and London (through adher- ence to Imperial architectural taste). The second lens considers two contemporary, competing architectural practices that succeeded in tall building design: Carrère and Hastings of New York (in association with their Canadian alumni) and Darling and Pearson of Toronto. Toronto’s first modern skyscraper2 ensem- ble appears at the intersection of King and Yonge streets in the years after the Great Fire of 1904. These new buildings inalter- ably changed the skyline image of the city3 and were erected in spite of pervasive health and engineering concerns,4 not to mention aesthetic ones.

  • A New Index of the American Stock Exchange
    A New Index of the American Stock Exchange The American Stock Exchange has been a secondary exchange for stocks that were unable or unwilling to list on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Many stocks that could not meet the listing requirements for the NYSE listed on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) in the hope that eventually they would “graduate” to the NYSE. Only a handful of AMEX stocks were ever part of the S&P 500 Composite, but many of the stocks that graduated from the AMEX to the NYSE eventually became a member of the S&P 500 Composite while on the NYSE. Today, the American Stock Exchange is owned by the NYSE and is known as the NYSE American. Because of its secondary nature, the AMEX has generally been ignored by investors, but this article attempts to redress that neglect. Curbside Trading The Curb began during the Civil War on the street just outside the NYSE. Open to all, anyone could show up to buy and sell stocks that were not listed on the NYSE. In the 1860s, rain or shine, the curb opened at 8am and operated until 6pm in William Street between Exchange Place and Beaver Street. Between 1869 and 1881, the open-air market included two other units, the New York Mining Stock Exchange and the Petroleum Consolidated Stock Exchange. During the 1890s, the Curb operated in front of the Mills Building at the corner of 15 Broad Street and Wall Street. The Curb relocated to Blair Building in 1907 at 44 Broad Street, just south of Exchange Place where it remained until the building at Trinity Place was opened in 1921.
