The Exchange created an 'Unlisted Department' through which shares were traded until a company qualified for regular listing (the department was abolished in 1910). On December 15, 1886, the exchange traded a record 1.2 million shares. When trading volume reached three million shares in April of 1901, plans were drafted for expanded offices. Completed in 1903, the new Exchange building was designed by George B. Post in the classical-revival manner. To embellish the white marble facade, J.A. Ward sculpted the figures of 'Integrity Protecting the Works of Man.'
