New York's Pennsylvania Stations

Editorial Reviews Book Description 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. About the Author Hilary Ballon is professor of art history at Columbia University. She lives in New Jersey.
