Grand Central Terminal
Grand Central Terminal in New York, located in Midtown Manhattan, was built in 1913 and is one of the worldβs busiest train stations and the largest one globally π. The station, designed by the architectural firm Warren and Wetmore, is a prime example of Beaux-Arts architecture π. Key Features: πΏπ β’ Main Concourse: The ceiling boasts a stunning mural of the constellations, depicting a starry sky that leaves visitors in awe π. β’ The Four-Faced Clock: Located at the center of the Main Concourse, this clock, made of opal, is worth over $20 million π. β’ Whispering Gallery: Near the Oyster Bar, this unique spot allows you to hear whispers from the other end when you stand in the corners π. πΏπ Grand Central Terminal serves as a crucial hub for the Metro-North Railroad, connecting New York City to various locations in New York State and Connecticut π. In the 1960s, the station faced the threat of demolition, but thanks to the efforts of people like Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, it was designated a National Historic Landmark and ultimately preserved πΏ. #NewYork #GrandCentralTerminal π
