The famed Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan was noted for its glass dome. The architects drew inspiration from the Gare d’Orsay in Paris, which today is no longer a railroad station and is home to one of the world’s best art museums.
“The terminal itself is a monument to the ingenuity of the present day architects and engineers,” the Asbury Park Evening Press reported in September 1910. “It is provided with every known convenience for the passenger.”
