Old Penn Station HC

Description

During the first half of the twentieth century, the original Pennsylvania Station was one of New York City's grandest landmarks, a palace in the middle of Manhattan. This book takes readers back in time to the height of Penn Station's glory. From construction to destruction, we visit the station's crowded, light-filled concourse, its ornate statues, and its dedicated workers. Although this impressive building only stood from 1910 to 1963, the memory of its majestic presence in the heart of New York City lives on to this day.
