    And to think that this beautiful building was torn down and replaced by ugly Madison Square Garden. And now they want to replace MSG! Thanks so much to the LOC for sharing these great archival photos. Please add lots more.

    I've seen the PBS history on this. It was the NYcity's biggest and well know tragedies in architectural history.
  • marysz said:
    The only traces left of this great station are some of the stairways to the station platforms and the platforms themselves. The destruction of the old Penn Station was a civic disgrace.

    It was called "progress"... at least now the Madison must be turned down and a new station built in that place, similar to the old building.

    Date of 3/12/18 is scratched on negative. This is probably the group of Giants leaving New York by train for their spring training camp in Marlin, Texas on March 11, 1918. In that group were pitching prospects Waite Hoyt and George Smith, as well as George Burns, Howard Baker, Jack Onslow, Herman Schaefer and catcher Mike Hogan, along with Eddie Brannan of the Giants' staff. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9A0DE7DF103BEE... Those 9 are mentioned in the Times article, so that is probably the group pictured. The Giants were destined to finish a distant second to the Chicago Cubs in 1918. Waite "Schoolboy" Hoyt was an 18 year old rookie prospect who would debut that year for the Giants and go on to a Hall of Fame career. baseballhall.org/hof/hoyt-waite
