3 Hanover Square (Cotton Exchange Building) is the original New York Cotton Exchange building — Donn Barber's 1922-23 commission converted in 1985 to one of the earliest FiDi residential cooperatives.

The structural identity rests on three features. First, the New York Cotton Exchange institutional provenance — anchoring early-20th-century Wall Street commodities-trading history. Second, the Donn Barber architectural pedigree — Barber's broader body of work includes substantial early-20th-century commercial commissions. Third, the 1985 cooperative conversion — among the earliest residential conversions in the Financial District.
