Grand Central Terminal stands at the heart of Manhattan. Built at the beginning of the century, it exemplifies the ideals and aspirations of a great American city emerging as a world metropolis in the decade before World War I. It still embodies a practical and progressive vision of urban life, which has new relevance in the aftermath of the Modern Movement. This book presents the building in detail, using drawings, and archival and recent photography. The partnership of architects Warren and Wetmore was formed in New York City in 1898, and are well known for the New York Yacht Club (1899) as well as other major railroad projects.
