10. The Original Penn Station

Tourists visiting New York City might put Penn Station on their map of must-see iconic spots to visit. But for any New Yorker, they know that Penn Station is the kind of place you typically want to get in and out of as quickly as humanly possible. But the old Penn Station was a sight that even busy New Yorkers would want to stop to appreciate.

The original Penn Station, built in 1910, was as glamorous as it was gigantic, with sprawling glass ceilings and intricate architecture. By 1963, the train station was torn down and replaced with Madison Square Garden. But this feat of architecture doesn’t even compare to some of the other long-gone wonders on this list.
