Since today marks the 100th anniversary of the opening of Grand Central Terminal, I thought it might be nice to take you to a part of the station that is rarely seen by the public at large: Inside the massive clock overlooking 42nd street and Park Avenue South. This is the largest Tiffany clock in the world. Measuring 14 feet in diameter and constructed of stained glass, It is a priceless one of a kind gem.

This three floor abandoned factory building dated back to the 1950s. It’s typical modernist styled exterior made it a rather plain looking addition to a neighborhood full of similar abandoned factory buildings. Over the years it served many companies, before being bought in 2011 for 5 million dollars.
