New York, NY - October 26, 2010 - (RealEstateRama) -- Another milestone was reached this year with the commemoration of the decade-long re-tenanting of historic 48 Wall Street, a 324,000 square foot, 34-story office building built in 1927 that was fully restored to its original grandeur. A rededication of the building celebrating its landmark status was previously held in 2002 with an unveiling of a plaque just below the original cornerstone dating back to 1784 from the first building that stood at 48 Wall Street. The ceremony marking that occasion was held in the building’s two-story Grand Banking Hall which served as the main banking area for the Bank of New York. The Landmarks Preservation Commission initially dedicated the building as a New York City landmark in October 1998, and the plaque seen today marks that dedication. Today, The Grand Banking Hall houses the Museum of American Finance, a member of the Smithsonian Affiliation Program.
