The link below is worth the time to paste it to your browser. It is tragic that such a beautiful building fell to greed and ignorance. It sat across from the main Post Office and mirrored the architecture of that building. The demolition was prior to the City having laws in place to prevent destruction of historic buildings. The present Penn Station is squeezed under and next to the Madison Square Garden complex. It is one and all adverts on the outside and inside it is a low-ceiling squat place that is the unattractive home to Amtrak. What a shame.
