SUMMARY:Lecture: Grand Central Terminal - 100 Years of a New York Landmark
DESCRIPTION:On February 1st\, 1913\, the brand-new Grand Central Terminal opened its doors to an admiring public. On February 1st\, 2013\, the beautifully restored Terminal – rescued from destruction by a seminal 1978 Supreme Court decision – celebrated its Centennial\, accompanied by exhibitions\, events\, and a new book: Grand Central Terminal: 100 Years of a New York Landmark. The Terminal’s creation combined engineering bravado (sinking two train yards below ground)\, technological wizardry (electrifying the trains to eliminate steam and enable their underground functioning)\, and real-estate savvy (replacing the original street-level train yard with 16 blocks of newly prime Midtown Manhattan real-estate\, whose development paid for it all) with innovative planning (interior ramps and looping tracks) and Paris-inspired Beaux-Arts design. This illustrated lecture brings the Terminal to life – its remarkable history\, stunning architecture\, and central role in creating midtown Manhattan. \nThis lecture is funded by the New York Council for the Humanities. Free and open to the public.
