Originally installed Grand Central Station, Park Avenue & 42nd Street, New York, New York 1898.
Remarks:
This eagle is one of eleven installed in 1898 on the roof of the renovated Grand Central Station in New York City. When the station was eventually torn down to make way for a new one, the eagles were removed and dispersed to various collections. In 1910, Mr. William Bell purchased one of the eagles and placed it on Riverside Drive in Sleepy Hollow, New York. Three years later in 1913, William Bell built a train station, the Philipse Manor Train Station, opposite the eagle.
