DescriptionExchange Place is a district of Downtown Jersey City, New Jersey that is sometimes referred to as 'Wall Street West' due to the concentration of financial concerns, which have offices there. The namesake is a square of about 200 feet long at the foot of Montgomery Street at the Hudson River, which was created by land filling of the shore at Paulus Hook and has been major transportation hub since the colonial era. The print streets overwhelm the narrow street crossing. A curved structure is at the right. Greek columns as part of a structure are at the lower left of the print. Light is visible in the upper left and cascades into a narrow crossing at the lower center of the print. - Judith Kendall, I.S.A., AM
