Hoboken, New Jersey Ferry Terminal Historical Tour
The engineers and architects executing the restoration attempted to use as much of the original steel and concrete as possible.
Area of the terminal where new ferry slips are being constructed. This area when opened, will replace the temporary barge currently being used for ferry departures to and from Manhattan.
With a select group of people, I was able to take a rare tour and get a very close look at the restoration of the ferry slips at the Hoboken Ferry Terminal.
The "all access" tour, given by Hall Construction Company, included areas rarely seen by the public, such as the Long Hall Concourse, the recently restored clock tower, and the main waiting room.
The Hoboken Terminal (1907) is the only completely intact railroad ferry terminal remaining in the U.S. Its Beaux Arts with High Victorian and amusement park influences were the work of architect Kenneth Murchison.
