In 1929, San Francisco Exchange seats sold for $250,000, and despite the stock market crash in October, the Exchange moved to newly built headquarters on Pine and Sansome streets in 1930. The trading floor was outfitted with cutting edge equipment to make communications move faster. There were telephone turret boards, pneumatic tube stations, an annunciator signal system, an automatically operated gong to open sessions and translux projectors of other exchanges' ticker tape. A ticker transmitter put out 300 characters per minute. Today the City Club occupies this space, but every once in a blue moon they let in a select few to view the hidden Diego Rivera mural the Exchange commissioned in 1930 .
