10. Maritime Exchange Building at 80 Broad Street

The Maritime Exchange Building at 80 Broad Street was constructed between 1930 and 1931 for the Maritime Association, which was founded originally in 1873. The Association was focused on supporting the trade in the bustling port of New York. Activities that took place at the Maritime Exchange included reporting on ship movements, ship sales, quarantines, government regulations, and much more. Membership was booming with 1,800 members by 1891, prompting the purchase of the former Popham Building at 80 Broad Street. In 1930, that building was replaced by the current 35-floor skyscraper. The Art Deco-style building features a row of four sea horses above the main entrance.

The Maritime Association sold 80 Broad Street in 1983, moved to 17 State Street, and then to Elizabeth, New Jersey where the current port is located.
