Though most of the original 1910 Penn Station was demolished in 1963, traces of its historic grandeur remain—if you know where to look. What do these hidden relics reveal, and how might the station and its surroundings be restored as New York’s iconic gateway? Join us to uncover the past, present, and future of North America’s busiest rail hub.
