1 Wall Street Court (Cocoa Exchange / Beaver Building)
1 Wall Street Court, New York, NY 10005
- Year built
- 1904
1 Wall Street Court (Cocoa Exchange / Beaver Building) is a triangular Flatiron-shaped neo-Renaissance landmark — Clinton & Russell's 1904 commission for the New York Cocoa Exchange with carved beaver heads ornamenting the facade.
The structural identity rests on three features. First, the NYC landmark designation (1996) as the Beaver Building. Second, the triangular Flatiron-shaped neo-Renaissance configuration — geometrically distinct on the Wall Street axis. Third, the carved beaver heads ornamenting the facade — the building's original signature ornament referencing its 1904 commission for the New York Cocoa Exchange.

The carved beaver heads on the facade are real architectural-history credential.
The 1904 New York Cocoa Exchange institutional provenance anchors cultural-history positioning.
