Also called Grand Central Terminal, built for the New York and Harlem
Railroad company.
Famous building backdrop from numerous American films, the station
is designed in the Beaux-Arts architecture style popular in the early
20th century. An architecture competition took place in 1903 for the
new Grand Central Station.
The other New York railway station - Penn Station - was constructed
in a similar Beaux-Arts style but sadly demolished in 1966. It was
designed by Charles McKim of McKim, Mead & White, Architects.
Grand Central New York has 67 separate tracks on two levels. Refurbished
in 1994 by LaSalle Partners & Williams Jackson Ewing.
