The Philadelphia Bourse was a commodities exchange founded in 1891 by George E. Bartol, a grain and commodities exporter, who modeled it after the Bourse in Hamburg, Germany. The steel-framed building—one of the first to be constructed—was built from 1893 to 1895 and was designed by G. W. & W. D. Hewitt in the Beaux‑Arts style.
