A place in New York

The Probity Trust

It exists only in the story: this is the spot the story gives it.

The Bank of New York building at Wall and William Streets.1921 · Irving Underhill / Library of Congress

The firm where Nick learns the bond business, somewhere in the white chasms of lower New York. The company is invented; the financial district around Wall Street is where it would have stood.

In the early morning the sun threw my shadow westward as I hurried down the white chasms of lower New York to the Probity Trust.

Visiting today

The firm never existed. The streets around Wall Street are free to walk and quietest at weekends; Trinity Church stands at the head of Wall Street. Subway: Wall St.
