History

Designed by architect Kenneth M. The Circle Line is the collective name given to two sightseeing Ferry operations in Manhattan: Circle Line 42nd Street which circles Manhattan Murchison in the Beaux-Arts style, the rail and ferry terminal buildings were constructed in 1907 as the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Terminal Complex. Beaux Arts architecture denotes the academic classical Architectural style that was taught at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris. "Railroad" and "Railway" both redirect here For other uses see Railroad (disambiguation.

The large main waiting room, with its floral and Greek Revival motifs in tiled stained glass by Louis Comfort Tiffany set atop bands of pale cement, is generally considered one of the finest in the U. A waiting room is a building or more commonly a part of a building where people sit or stand until the event they are waiting for occurs The Greek Revival was an architectural movement of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries predominantly in northern Europe and the United States Louis Comfort Tiffany ( February 18, 1848 &ndash January 17, 1933) was an American artist and designer who worked in the decorative arts S. aesthetically. The terminal exterior extends to over four stories and has a distinguished copper-clad façade with ornate detailing. Its single-story base is constructed of rusticated Indiana limestone. A grand double stair with decorative cast-iron railings within the main waiting room provides an entrance to the upper-level ferry concourse. The terminal is considered a milestone in American transportation development, combining rail, ferry, tram (later, bus; even later, bus on one side and light-rail on the other), and pedestrian facilities in one of the most innovatively designed and engineered structures in the nation. Hoboken Terminal was also one of the first stations in the world to employ the Bush-type train shed, which quickly became ubiquitous with station design. For other uses see engine shed and Goods shed A train shed is an adjacent building to a Railway station where the tracks

Hoboken Terminal, like Hoboken itself, is a place of "firsts". One year before his death, Thomas Edison was at the controls for the first departure, in 1930, of a regular-service electrified train from Hoboken Terminal to Montclair, New Jersey. "Electric Trains" redirects here For the 1995 Squeeze single see Electric Trains (song. Montclair (mɒnʔ kɫeɚ or maŋ kleɚ is a township in Essex County, New Jersey, United States. The first installation of central air-conditioning in a public space was at Hoboken Terminal, as was the first non-experimental use of mobile phones. The term air conditioning refers to the cooling and dehumidification of indoor air for Thermal comfort. ^[2]

The station is unusual for a modern major commuter railroad terminal in that it still makes use of low-level platforms, which require passengers to make use of stairs on the train to board and disembark.

The station has been used for film shoots, including Once Upon a Time in America, The Station Agent and Eric Clapton's video for his 1996 single Change the World. Once Upon a Time in America (Italian title C'era una volta in America) is a 1984 Crime film directed by Sergio Leone The Station Agent is a 2003 American Independent film about a man who moves to live in an abandoned Train station in rural Eric Patrick Clapton, CBE (born 30 March 1945 is an English Blues-rock Guitarist, singer Songwriter and Composer " Change the World " is a song recorded by Eric Clapton with backing by Babyface for the soundtrack of the 1996 film Phenomenon

A 225 foot clock tower was originally built with the terminal over a century ago, but was dismantled in the early 1950s due to structural damage and deterioration from weather damage. A new clock tower was constructed during the terminal's centennial year of 2007 and was fully erect that November. The replica tower has four foot high copper letters spelling out "LACKAWANNA", and eventually, those letters will be illuminated. The clock tower is expected to be completed in March 2008.
