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:
