Grand Central Station This New York City landmark that recently
celebrated its centennial was famously slated to be torn down,
before a group of public figures, including Jacqueline Kennedy
Onassis, and others fought to save it. The Beaux-Arts station,
including its famous constellation-studded ceiling, was restored
in the 1990s. According to NPR, the station is the largest
interior public space in New York City and is one of the top 10
most visited sites in the world.
