On our way to the 1930 Chrysler Building, we walked past the Grand Central Terminal (click hyperlink for more info) of New York City.
Photo got taken at 11:10 AM...
This Grand Beaux-Arts building was constructed in 1903-1913.
With Hercules, Mercurius and Minerva in the center top.
Here it is, nestled between the Grand Hyatt to its right with the Chrysler Building visible in the right top corner.
Its elevated road is very unique, separating cars from pedestrians.
A majestic building don't you think?
We did enter its underground corridor but did not make any photos.
Its architecture is as spectacular inside as outside.
Traveling with an 86-year old heart patient restricts you in doing a lot of things but I'm feeling blessed for having been here together!
Thanks for your visit.
a beautiful building.
ReplyDeleteEveryone usually just talks about the glitz and glamour of big city life. Nice to see the historical side of the city. My oldest son's high school friend has an internship in NYC so we will be able to visit him while we are there. Hope you are well. Happy Friday!
