This view of 42nd Street shows the entrance to Grand Central Depot in Manhattan, the rail terminal that stood on the site before the current station was built. The picture probably dates from between 1903 and 1910, when the old depot was being replaced by the Beaux-Arts Grand Central Terminal, which opened in 1913. The Detroit Publishing Company, which made many views of American cities and railroads in the early twentieth century, produced it. The 8-by-10-inch glass negative reflects the large-format plates the firm often used.
