Grand Central Terminal: 100 Years of a New York Landmark

Grand Central Terminal: 100 Years of a New York Landmark

Opened in February 1913, Grand Central TerminalÂ—one of the countryâ€™s great architectural monumentsÂ—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 Centralâ€™s Centennial by tracing the Terminalâ€™s history and design, and showcasing 200 photographs of its wondersÂ—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.
