Description
The shoeshine bench seats and pedestals stand vacant reminscing of a bygone era replete with full seats and busy workers.
Hoboken Terminal is one of the New York metropolitan area's major transportation hubs. The commuter-oriented intermodal facility is located on the Hudson River in Hoboken, New Jersey. It is served by nine New Jersey Transit (NJT) commuter rail lines, one Metro-North Railroad line, various NJT buses and private bus lines, the Hudson�Bergen Light Rail, the Port Authority Trans Hudson (PATH) rapid transit system and NY Waterway operated ferries. More than 50,000 people use the terminal daily. Designed by architect Kenneth M. Murchison in the Beaux-Arts style, the rail and ferry terminal buildings were constructed in 1907 by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad. The terminal building is listed on the New Jersey Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places. (information obtained from Wikipedia)
