Although construction was not yet entirely complete, Grand Central Terminal officially opened to great fanfare at 12:01am on Sunday, February 2, 1913. More than 150,000 visited on opening day. New York City would never be the same. The Biltmore Hotel and Yale Club were constructed across Vanderbilt Ave. During the 1920’s, warehouses gave way to skyscrapers such as the Chanin, the Lincoln, and Chrysler Building. The Hotel Commodore opened in 1919 and the Graybar Building was completed in 1927, each with a passageway connection to Grand Central’s Main Concourse.
