Grand Celebration

The four-faced clock at Grand Central Terminal does more than mark an era of opulence. Soaring over the information kiosk in the Main Concourse, the iconic timepiece sits at the center of an urban renewal movement that transformed a New York neighborhood. The progressive Terminal City opened East 42nd Street to new electronic travel, luxury hotels, and amazing street patterns.

This weekend the enormous golden clock strikes 100--New York's Grand Central Terminal officially opened on February 2, 1913.
