New York's Pennsylvania Stations

A journey through the extraordinary history of New York's Pennsylvania Station.

The creation of Pennsylvania Station (1902-1910) represented one of the great engineering feats of its time, and embodied a powerful vision of grandeur for future public architecture. This richly illustrated book tells the story of the original building, its tragic demolition in the 1960s, and the greatly anticipated opening of the new station in 2003. 100 color and 75 black-and-white photographs and illustrations.
