| Pennsylvania Station |
| Newark, New Jersey |
Pennsylvania Station, in Newark, is a major intermodal transportation facility which was constructed on a new site as a replacement for the city's older, smaller station. Designed by the prominent architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White, the building was constructed between 1932 and 1937 as a post-classical building with strong Art Deco detailing.
Composed of a two-story rectangular Waiting Room with concourses and an attached Train Shed, Pennsylvania Station was originally built at a cost of $42,000,000. The station is near the major highways serving the greater Northern New Jersey area, but functions especially as an important multi-modal transit link between Newark and points north (New York) and south for commuters. |
