Most of these buildings still remain up to the present day (1937) with the exception of Nos. 34 to 28 (three houses in the left foreground) which were replaced by the 35-story International Telephone Building and the 4-story house, seen in the centre background, whose site is now occupied by the 11-story building of the Lehman Bros. banking house. The New York Cotton Exchange Building was also razed and was supplanted by a new 24-story modern skyscraper which
is the Exchange's new home.
