Description
Before Grand Central Terminal, there was Grand Central Depot, built by William Vanderbilt in 1898 as the expansion of the old station. There were four clock towers on the roof, and at the corners of those towers there were 12 huge cast iron eagles. The eagles at that time were recognized nationally as a symbol of the country�s growth. They represented flight, movement, travel and were a symbol of patriotism.
