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.
