Hoboken Terminal

Hoboken Terminal, located on the Hudson River waterfront in Hoboken, New Jersey is a major transportation hub. Designed by architect Kenneth M. Murchison in the Beaux Arts style, the rail and ferry terminal buildings were constructed in 1907 as the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Terminal Complex. The large main waiting room, with its floral and Greek Revival motifs in tile, stained glass and pale cement, is generally considered one of the finest in the U.S. aesthetically. The terminal exterior extends to over four stories and has a distinguished copper-clad façade with ornate detailing. Its single-story base in constructed of rusticated Indiana limestone. A grand double stair with decorative cast-iron railings within the main waiting room provides an entrance to the upper-level ferry concourse. The terminal is considered a milestone in American transportation development, combining rail, ferry, tram, and pedestrian facilities in one of the most innovatively designed and engineered structures in the nation. Hoboken Terminal was also one of the first stations in the world to employ the Bush type train shed, which quickly became ubiquitous with station design.

Today the station is still a vital transportaiton hub and many New Jersey Transit trains terminate at and depart from the Hoboken Terminal, as does the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail. Commuters to Manhattan can take the PATH trains to the World Trade Center site in lower Manhattan or to the West Side of Midtown Manhattan at 33rd Street and Sixth Avenue. There is also NY Waterway ferry service to Manhattan.
