| Descrição: | Photograph by David Coleman. The Moynihan Train Hall represents a significant expansion of Penn Station in New York City, occupying the eastern portion of the historic James A. Farley Post Office Building on 8th Avenue. Completed in 2021 after nearly three decades of planning, the $1.6 billion project transformed 255,000 square feet of the Beaux-Arts landmark into a modern transportation hub. The hall's most striking feature is its 92-foot-high skylight roof consisting of four catenary vaults that flood the space with natural light. Designed by architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), the train hall serves Amtrak and Long Island Rail Road passengers and provides a significant contrast to the underground warrens of Penn Station across the street. The original building, completed in 1914, was designed by McKim, Mead & White—the same architects who designed the original Penn Station that was demolished in 1963. The hall features a central information desk modeled after a vintage train station clock, digital display boards, waiting areas, retail spaces, and direct access to 17 train tracks. Named after the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who first proposed the conversion in the 1990s, the project represents one of New York's most significant public infrastructure investments in recent decades and has been praised for blending historic preservation with modern transportation needs. |
