Penn Station and the corner of 7th Avenue and 34th Street.
Description
This color postcard shows the old Pennsylvania Station from the corner of 7th Avenue and 34th Street. The Classical façade of columns is visible. Built by McKim, Mead & White in 1910, Penn Station was demolished in 1962 to make way for the Penn Plaza complex which includes Madison Square Garden. Though the underground where the Long Island Railroad and Amtrak stop is still called Penn Station, this was the name of the now-demolished building. In the postcard's foreground colored in red with blue-gray flat roofs are tenements. The caption reads, "Bird's-eye view of the P.R.R. depot, New York."
