Grand Central - 42nd Street (1913) This incredible photo was taken around the opening of Grand Central Terminal in 1913. We noticed a couple cool details after zooming in: -'Subway Entrance Downtown' on the corner The Park Avenue Viaduct has not been constructed, even though there are cars on the upper level -Cars and horses lined up on 42nd in front of the entrance -Elevated station just to the east of Grand Central -The clock has yet to be added to the statue of Mercury, Hercules and Minerva -Original Belgian block pavers in between the streetcar tracks on 42nd Street -Many of Grand Centrals windows are cracked open Do you notice anything else?

A pristine Grand Central Terminal concourse before opening to the public in 1913. Definitely one of our favorite interior spaces in the city along with the #WoolworthBuilding lobby and the Oculus before the shops moved in. What’s your favorite NYC interior?

The Grand Central Depot, circa 1890 and 1900. Grand Central Depot was the first train terminal built on the site at 42nd and Park, built over four decades before the current building. The train yard – occupied by three railroad companies; the NY Central and Hudson River Railroad, the NY, New Haven, and New Hartford Railroad, and the Harlem Railroad – was the largest interior space in the country, with a vaulted roof made of iron and glass. When it opened in 1871 Grand Central Depot had 170 trains traveling in and out each day. But by the 1890s the city and the railroad industry had outgrown the Depot – 500 trains were using the terminal daily. Additionally, the poor ventilation and the dangerous grade crossings made the need for a new station urgent. After a deadly train crash in 1902 in the Park Avenue Tunnel, The New York Central's chief engineer William J. Wilgus announced a request for proposals to improve the tunnel and terminal. Wilgus envisioned demolishing the current station and building a double level terminal for electric trains only. Grand Central Terminal would open 11 years later and today is the largest* train terminal in the world. Tap to order a fine-art print of this photograph or our Grand Central Terminal photos and maps.
