It's a shame there wasn't more funding or interest in saving the original Penn Station. The design and architecture was beautiful compared to what is there today.

[@icopaseticMHF]

Agreed, it looks like a Denny's

[@ezinafauda4394]

It really is sad. Disgusting. There is a group of people trying to get them to rebuild it and they just got approval to move Madison square garden. But who knows what will show up in its place.

[@csnide6702]

WTF are you talking about.......? MSG sits on top of it now......

[@GG1man]

Those were the days, after WWII, when a "modernism" movement was in vogue. Buildings that were designed then were nothing more than boxes with holes punched out for windows. Some time in the 1980s some form started to come back to architecture. Penn Station was only 50 years old when it was torn down in 1963. Compare our record to structures in the old world. I'd say we failed that class.

[@sisteray3539]

Very true. It's criminal it was knocked down

I enjoy this type of video, however I notice, on many of the compared photos, that the older photos had photographers with much better "eye" for composition than the more current photographers.

[@conantigard7038]

I watched this until the Penn Station image. The texts says that the picture on the left is from the 1910's. Yet, somehow, and 1956 Chevy is parked in from of the building, somehow traveling back in time to the 1910's. That did it for me.

have to say, much prefer the then to the now. great photos, thank you

[@majkus]

Things that gradually change often give the feeling of a parallel world. The same, but different. Even ageing faces. Look at a picture of your grandfather in his high school yearbook. Every detail of his face is different; but somehow we recognize it as the same face. A map of your town in 1900 (if it was there!) might look very familiar, even if none of the details are the same any more. Part of it is also human perception of what is 'the same' and 'different'. These photos show the same contrast.

[@dalestewart5670]

Penn station wasn't in 1910s mid fifties cars out front

I love history, I live in a city called Sheffield in the North of the UK. Just up the road from me is the ruins of an old castle/lodge. Manor Lodge, built around 1510, Mary Queen of Scots spent 27 years locked up there in 1570 if I'm not mistaken. Kinda cool to have on my doorstep

[@Mr-Mr66]

@@billmoo thanks for the update man.

[@huohization]

@@Mr-Mr66 I'm se envious of you. If it wasn't for irrational fear of flying I'd visit your country yearly, I love history. Here in Finland something from the 1800s is considered old, your cities are filled with stuff from the 1500s, corner to corner. And most of it is recorded in the history books so you know exactly what took place and where and when. A paradise for a history buff.

[@Mr-Mr66]

And I would absolutely love to visit Finland, it's a beautiful country. I have just recently moved house, I live about 5 miles away from my old address. There's a nice piece of history in the village up the road, actual stocks! You know the kind that rowdy nuisances and petty criminals would have their hands locked inside, I think they're from the 1850s.

I'm not sure what happened in the Kansas photo. But, it's in the heart of tornado country. Whole city blocks are not just torn down to not build on that site. Just a thought.

[@ffjsb]

What an IGNORANT statement. You base your statement on ONE building being torn down, when in fact it was no longer useful for what it was built for. Tens of thousands of historic building are still standing in the US, some back to before the US was a country. And buildings don't have an infinite useful lifespan.
