On September 16 , 1920 , the building was the site of the Wall Street bombing , in which thirty-eight people were killed and hundreds injured , 143 of them seriously . The building received heavy damage , with shrapnel entering the building through its large wide windows . To this day , the damage to the limestone façade is visible on the outside of the building , as the company said it would never repair the damage in defiance to those who committed the crime
