It features a beautiful etching of the building located at Hudson & Harrison Streets. The NY Mercantile Exchanged occupied this building until the 1970s.

The NY Mercantile Exchange was founded in 1872 as the Butter and Cheese Exchange of New York as a place to buy and sell commodities. They changed their name to the New York Mercantile Exchange in 1882. The Mercantile Exchange moved to their new building in 1885 where it operated until 1977.
