While it was the single worst decision ever made, it needs to be remembered it was done in a time with a completely different mentality as opposed to what would be in place just a few years later (though that said, as magnificent as that station clearly was, it's replacement was not completely bad, and I suspect the original would have been eventually altered quite a bit even if most of the original had not been torn down).Ironically, had the architect of the original Penn Station allowed for building of office towers within the station boundaries, the original station (or at least some form of it beyond what actually does still stand) might very well be still standing in 2010. |
