An original Penn Station eagle at 7th Avenue and 31st Street

When the original Pennsylvania Station was demolished in 1963, much of the once glorious station was dumped into the Meadowlands in New Jersey. The 22 eagles of the station facade have remained an object of fascination, with at least 18 whole eagles that still exist scattered around the country. Here, we showcase where those noble creatures have come to roost since the loss of the original Penn Station.

2 Eagles are still located at Penn Station

7th Avenue and 33rd Street

Though two eagles still exist at Penn Station, they’re located in a far less noble position compared to their original location, above the frieze of the neoclassical, McKim, Mead & White edifice. Two are now located at the entrance on 7th and 33rd Street, yet another is fenced in on 7th Avenue near 31st Street.

Join our next tour this Sunday on the Remnants of Penn Station, which will include a stop at these eagles and many more wonderful remains:
