Snook’s Depot
Grand Central Depot, designed by John B. Snook, was built at a cost of $6.4 M. Virtually obsolete at the time it opened, it served three distinct rail lines – the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, New York and Harlem Railroad, and the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad. Each line maintained its own waiting room, baggage facilities and ticketing operation at the station.
