Deco Nights No. 1 - A Terminal City Impression

On this mid-December late night, New York's Lexington Avenue is without its daytime-into-evening bustle,
with only the occasional pedestrian passing by the Art Deco eastern entrances to the Graybar Building.

The Graybar was one of many office towers that grew around Grand Central Terminal as part of the
New York Central Railroad's "Terminal City" development project. Such buildings were constructed,
in large measure, above the extensive trackwork of Grand Central's two-level rail complex.

Art Deco design was a unifying theme in terms of the proud architecture that transformed this area of Midtown-East in the 1920s, its distinctive lighting fixtures and bold bronze adorning building entrances, as well as the soaring lobbies.

The Graybar, sitting astride the eastern tracks of Grand Central, along Lexington Avenue between
East 43rd and 44th Streets, connects with the magnificent Main Concourse of the railway terminal
via the Graybar Passage, allowing ease of access from along Lexington Avenue.

Thus, with the exception of late night, the pedestrian flow along this stretch of
Lexington Avenue is greatly enhanced by those using Grand Central Terminal.
