The Grand Central Terminal in Perspective
This paper is intended more as an exposition of the inception, development, and quickening of a complex organism of magnitude, dating from 1831, than as a detailed description of the manner in which each of its many parts has been designed and constructed. Within this framework appears an outline of the results that have been achieved in the interest of the owner, and of the public to whom they spell a successful adventure in civic planning—all made possible by the utilization of overhead air rights incident to the change of motive power from steam to electricity. Included also is an intimation of problems ahead, to be faced and solved.
