Bonus (and currently missing): Eagles of Original Penn Station
Until recently, two eagles were located at the frieze of the neoclassical edifice. When the original Pennsylvania Station was demolished in 1963, most of the 22 eagles of the station facade were scattered around the country. All of the eagles were designed by German-born sculptor Adolph Weinman, who was hired by McKim, Mead & White for the station’s sculptural decorations.
