EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the Ladies' Room at Grand Central Terminal during the early 20th century, around 1910-1920. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past of one of New York City's most iconic landmarks. Grand Central Terminal, a National Historic Landmark, was built between 1903 and 1913, and quickly became a symbol of progress and modernity. The Ladies' Room, with its elegant furnishings and refined ambiance, reflects the attention to detail and sophistication that defined the terminal. The photograph shows several ladies seated in comfortable rocking chairs, engrossed in their activities. One woman reads a newspaper, while another applies makeup or adjusts her hat in the mirror. A third woman leans forward, deep in conversation with another lady. The room is filled with a sense of calm and tranquility, providing a welcome respite for weary travelers. The Ladies' Room is also a testament to the industrial era, with its dry plate glass negative and the use of natural light streaming in from the windows. The room's furnishings, which include wooden chairs and a wooden bench, are reminiscent of the period's industrial design. This photograph, from the collections of the Library of Congress, is a valuable historical record of a bygone era. It invites us to imagine the stories of the women who once sat in this room, waiting for their trains or meeting friends, and to appreciate the rich history of Grand Central Terminal.
