BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ESSENTIAL
APPEALS TO: MANY
William J. Wilgus wanted to create an electric-powered train. After a tragic accident, where two trains collided together in New York City, he knew he could design something better. He envisioned a large, grand, multi-level building, that would be a hub for trains going in and out of the city. After many months of building, it was completed and the public came to see it. People came from all over the world to just walk inside this new building in order to see its beauty.
This is an incredible, detailed retelling of how Grand Central Terminal was built and why it is iconic, even today. I enjoyed this book because it told the story of how such an iconic building was constructed. It was filled with amazing details that I think most of the public isn't aware of. The illustrations were engaging and it included additional reading and facts at the end.
