Info
The Grand Central Palace was an exhibition hall in New York City. Built in 1911, the 13-story building was located on Lexington Avenue between 46th and 47th Streets, occupying the air rights over the railroad tracks leading into Grand Central Terminal. The Palace was designed by Warren and Wetmore and Reed and Stem, who had collaborated on Grand Central Terminal. It replaced the original Grand Central Palace, built in 1893 on Lexington Avenue between 43rd and 44th Streets and demolished by 1913 to make way for the Grand Central development after it had served as a temporary station during the building of the terminal. The Palace was New York's main exposition hall until it closed in 1953. Its location and the proximity of Grand Central Terminal spurred the construction of a hotel district in the area. The new Grand Central Palace was demolished in 1964 to make way for 245 Park Avenue.
