Additional Details:
The main or general waiting room in the new Station has seats for 750 persons, standing space for many thousands. It is eighty feet in height, its length is 410 feet and its width 165 feet. Marble, stone and tile were used for the finish. This waiting room is intended to be used only by outgoing passengers, incoming travel using long passageways, or midways on either side leading to the rotunda and to the Plaza on which the station fronts. The trains pass under the waiting room, and elevators as well as stairways afford means to reach the platforms below.
