Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station: Statuary and Sculptures 0.91

A comprehensive overview of New York City's Grand Central Terminal gives young readers the continuing tale behind the building--the story of a rapidly growing city, details about powerful men and women and brilliant architects and engineers, and the golden age of long-distance train travel and its subsequent decline--that gives meaning to the structure itself.

Opened in February 1913, Grand Central Terminal―one of the country’s great architectural monuments―helped create Midtown Manhattan. Over the next century, it evolved into an unofficial town square for New York. Today, it sits astride Park Avenue at 42nd Street in all its original splendor, attracting visitors by the thousands. This new book celebrates Grand Central’s Centennial by tracing the Terminal’s history and design, and showcasing 200 photographs of its wonders―from the well-trodden Main Concourse to its massive power station hidden 10 stories below. The stunning photographs, some archival and some taken by Frank English, official photographer of Metro-North Railroad for more than 25 years, capture every corner of this astonishing complex. Praise for Grand Central Terminal:   “The book is thoroughly researched and reads like a library of design, lifestyles, art and trivia that even New Yorkers don’t know.” ―NY Arts Magazine

Built in the heart of the Empire City is the world's greatest and most iconic railway terminal. A colossal Beaux-Arts style transport nexus, Grand Central Terminal was completed in 1913 from the legacy of the railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt. The terminal quickly became vital to travel and today accommodates 750,000 people daily. This book documents the construction of Grand Central Terminal, the former Grand Central Depot (1871) and Grand Central Station (1900), and illuminates the incredible story of the terminal that revolutionized transport, developed Midtown Manhattan, and opened railroad access to suburban areas.

This richly illustrated work traces the colorful story of the present Grand Central Terminal constructed in 1913. Described is how the present terminal replaced two other Grand Central terminal in the same location. Described is how the station was built, how service was interupted during the building years, the placing of tracks under Fifth Avenue and operated by electric locomotives, and the beauties of the station itself. Although Grand Central fell on hard times following the decline of long distance passenger trains, and was borderline tacky, the terminal has been reborn to its past glory at a cost of $200 million. It is now a heavy commuter terminal.
