If you have Amazon Prime there is a great documentary on Penn Station.
All aspects of building of it.

Thanks,

I watched it several months ago. Was very well done. I am not in favor of saving everything but the demolition of Penn station seems extremely short sited. Definitely a cautionary tale. What I find more wasteful is how many recent structures are torn down and replaced including houses in major cities.
I watched it this afternoon. Loved it. I was in college when they were demolishing it, but I remember it. I am so happy they made a documentary about it. It was truly a work of art.
The year after the misguided demolition of Penn Station,
New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission
was formed.
