Reminiscences
wanted! For an exhibition on Pennsylvania Station at Columbia's
Wallach Gallery, Professor Hilary Ballon asks you to send her your
memories of the old station and to describe what it felt like to be
inside McKim's monumental building, modeled in part on the Baths of
Caracalla. Please write to her at the Dept. of Art History, 826
Schermerhorn, Columbia University, New York, N.Y. 10027 or by
e-mail at hmb3@columbia.edu;
include a telephone number where she can reach you. Opening on
February 1, 2000, the exhibition tells the story of McKim's
masterpiece-the first modern American station conceived for the new
age of smoke-free, electrified trains-and its demolition in the
1960s, and presents the widely acclaimed design by David Childs for
a new train station in the Farley Post Office.
