DUST JACKET INTRODUCTION:
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, thanks to its rescue and restoration, 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 two hundred photographs of its wonders-from the well-trodden Main Concourse, with its striking ceiling painted with glowing gold-leaf constellations, to its massive power station hidden ten stories below. Archival photographs from the collections of the New York Transit Museum and other collections, as well as the stunning photos by Frank English, official photographer of Metro-North Railroad for more than twenty-five years, capture every corner of this astonishing complex.
