Want to discover the secrets inside NYC’s legendary Grand Central Terminal? Now you can!
Better understand the history of our magical city on this incredible walking tour of the mysteries hidden in NYC’s largest transportation hub.
In the early 1900s, NYC Railroad noticed that the original Grand Central Depot was unfit for the progressive 20th century. As a result, they held a design competition to determine which company would be responsible for revamping the landmark we know it as today.
Architecture firm Reed & Stem won the competition, but that wasn’t enough to satisfy the railroad and their hopes for the new terminal. To ensure that it was as grand as they’d intended, an additional architect firm, Warren & Wetmore, was hired to collaborate with Reed & Stem as “Associated Architects.”
By its completion, Grand Central Terminal was New York City’s pride and joy.
