Grand Central, Grand Vision

More than a century ago, the New York Central Railroad married steel construction and electric train traction to a Beaux-Arts vision of the city that reimagined New York on a twentieth-century scale. The Terminal at 42nd Street is an amalgam of modernist efficiency and neo-classical grandeur. Join us to look at American urbanism when cities — not suburbs — were on our minds and New York was emerging as a “world class capital.”
