Grand Central Terminal, Vanderbilt Hall
Former waiting room now event space. You can rent this space the next time you have a project launch or need a little extra space for that special birthday bash.
The bare bulbs in the bronze and silvered bronze chandeliers seem a bit off to us but there is a reason. Electric light was a new thing at the time and designers were still trying to figure what to do with the many bulbs needed to provide light. Added to this the Vanderbilt family was bragging that the building had total electric lighting and power, a rarity at the time.
