Penn Station

If this image of New York City's Pennsylvania Station seems straight out of a classic film noir, it's for good reason. The photo was taken in the 1950s, just a few years before the city's beloved Beaux-Arts style masterpiece was dismantled and then demolished so that Madison Square Garden could be built atop its warren of walkways and train lines.

This original Pennsylvania Station opened to the public on November 27, 1910. It was built by its namesake, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, to compete with Grand Central Station. For 50-plus years, commuters and visitors streamed in and out of the grand and imposing Penn Station to take trains to and from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and beyond. When the building was decapitated in 1963 with only its underground network of tunnels and walkways left in place, the demolition sparked city-wide and even international outrage. 'One entered the city like a god; one scuttles in now like a rat,' wrote architectural historian Vincent Scully. There was a silver lining to the cloud of demolition dust: A collective sense of loss galvanized the movement to preserve historically significant buildings in the US.

Today, we celebrate the anniversary of Penn Station with more good news. On January 1, 2021, the first train left Penn Station from the new Daniel Patrick Moynihan Train Hall. It's a $1.6B architectural masterpiece of its own, built from the adjacent US Post Office building and taking design cues from the original Penn Station building, pictured here. We'll toast to that!

宾州车站

如果这张纽约市宾夕法尼亚电视台的照片看起来是直接出自一部经典的黑色电影，那是有充分理由的。这张照片拍摄于20世纪50年代，就在几年前，这座城市深受喜爱的Beaux Arts风格的杰作被拆除，然后被拆除，以便麦迪逊广场花园可以建在人行道和火车线的沃伦顶上。

这座最初的宾夕法尼亚车站于1910年11月27日向公众开放。它是由同名的宾夕法尼亚铁路公司建造的，目的是与大中央车站竞争。50多年来，通勤者和游客源源不断地进出宏伟壮丽的宾夕法尼亚火车站，乘坐火车往返新泽西州、宾夕法尼亚州以及更远的地方。1963年，该建筑被斩首，只剩下地下隧道和人行道网络，这一拆除事件引发了全市乃至国际社会的愤怒一个像神一样进入城市；建筑历史学家文森特·史考利（Vincent Scully）写道：“现在，人们像老鼠一样溜进来了。”。拆除尘埃中还有一线希望：集体的失落感激发了保护美国历史上重要建筑的运动。

今天，我们用更多的好消息来庆祝宾州电台的周年纪念。2021年1月1日，第一列火车从新的Daniel Patrick Moynihan火车站开出。这是一座耗资16亿美元的建筑杰作，取材于毗邻的美国邮政大楼，并借鉴了原宾夕法尼亚州车站大楼的设计灵感，如图所示。我们要为此干杯！
