In September 1903, the Consolidated National Bank took out a five-year lease on around 2,500 square feet of ground floor at the Exchange Court Building, which was located at the corner of Broadway and Exchange Place.[2]
The naval architectural firm Gielow & Orr had their headquarters in the building in the early 20th century.[3] The United Federation of Teachers currently has its headquarters in the building.[4]
