Grand Central Stones
Dot
In 1905, the New York Central Railroad placed fifteen stone samples that had potential to be used as the exterior wall of Grand Central Terminal along the railroads right of way of the Putnam Branch to assess the effects of weathering. Today, thirteen of the Grand Central Stones still stand. If standing on the Putnam greenway, the third stone from the right, Stony Creek granite, was the sample selected for the Terminal.
