Ever notice the European Symbols of Godly dominance that those on Wall Street eluded in their architecture?
Is that prominent center figure any different then billionaire Jeff Bezos surrounded by his poor warehouse workers at Amazon?

The sculptural work in the classical Greek style within the pediment of this Neo Classic facade, “Integrity Protecting the Works of Man,” symbolizes how the central figure so named "Integrity" as embodied in the exchange, watches over the spoils of the labor of man. A bit ironic

With Industry on one side and Agriculture on the other the figures in the traditional (yes nude "gasp"!) style represent various aspects of those two pillars of US prosperity. The composition was designed by John Quincy Adams Ward and originally carved out of marble.
