Throwback Thursday "The Original Penn Station"

A fantastic photograph of the original Penn Station designed by McKim, Mead and White which unfortunately was demolished in 1963. Opened in 1910, it was a most grand place and an architectural jewel of New York City. There is so much detail in this photo, what a treasure!! It was one of the first rail terminals to separate arriving from departing passengers on two concourses. I just love the way the light comes through the ceiling. Thank goodness for photographs to preserve these places even after they are no longer with us.

Throwback Thursday " Drug Store 1910"

I just LOVE this photograph of a drug store near Penn Station around 1910. It looks so much more elegant than our now CVS! In those days, drug stores were much more fancy and some even had soda fountains! I see a Soda sign in this photo, can you find it? This reminds me of watching Mr. Selfridge on PBS which showed how they began and how items were sold in those days. Looks more like a department store than a drug store. How fun must it have been to be in NYC in 1910!
