    This is what the site looks like now: www.visitingdc.com/images/madison-square-garden-address.jpg Pity.
  • Thundering Work said:
    I can see what you mean. It sure is a terrible pity indeed. Why did they destroy such a magnificent work of architecture?

    Oh, they thought it was progress, I guess. Cf. the relevant speech in "Mad Men." One good thing about it, though, is that the whole movement of historic landmark preservation was apparently much strengthened by the destruction of Penn Station: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_Landmarks_Preservatio...

    It was a travesty. I'm 22 years old and a New Yorker. It breaks my heart to see the Penn Station that was.
  • Caraway Seed said:
    They didn't think it was progress, even at the time everyone realized what a tragedy it was. However, the station was privately owned, by the Pennsylvania Rail Company, which was bleeding red ink thanks the Robert Moses and the Interstate Highway Act. The destroyed the station to get money, specifically a 25% stake in Madison Square Garden. It was a business decision by a company that was failing and desperate to do anything to try to bring in revenue.
