New York City, 1903, Commercial Cable and Hanover Bank
 
Commercial Cable Building adjoins the Stock Exchange at 20 Broad St. An imposing office building given over to the business of the Commercial Cable system organized in 1884 by John W. Mackay and James Gordon Bennet. The offices of the Postal Telegraph-Cable, the German and Pacific cables are here.

Hanover Bank building. Located on the southwest corner of Nassau and Pine Streets. this 22-story building completed in 1901, is justly considered one of the fines office structures in the world. From an artistic standpoint it is a most pleasing example of sky-scraping architecture.
