Grand Central Palace
The Grand Central Palace was an exhibition hall in New York City. Built in 1911, the 13-story building was located on Lexington Avenue between 46th and 47th Streets, occupying the air rights over the railroad tracks leading into Grand Central Terminal. The Palace was designed by Warren and Wetmore and Reed and Stem, who had collaborated on Grand Central Terminal. It replaced the original Grand Central Palace, built in 1893 on Lexington Avenue between 43rd and 44th Streets and demolished by 1913 to make way for the Grand Central development after it had served as a temporary station during the building of the terminal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://srnteach.us/HIST1700/assets/projects/unit3/docs/GrandCentral.pdf )〕 The Palace was New York's main exposition hall until it closed in 1953. Its location and the proximity of Grand Central Terminal spurred the construction of a hotel district in the area.〔 The new Grand Central Palace was demolished in 1964 to make way for 245 Park Avenue.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nycago.org/Organs/NYC/html/ExpoArchAlliedArts.html )〕
==Description==
The Grand Central Palace followed the precedent set by the Beaux-Arts architecture of Grand Central Terminal. The Lexington Avenue facade featured a portico supported by four classical columns. The lower three stories were occupied by exhibition spaces with the main exhibition hall on the second and third stories, and the ten upper floors were used for offices.〔
