Commodore Hotel; Built: 1919; Architects: Warren & Wetmore. The 2000 room hotel, now known as the Grand Hyatt New York, provides links to Grand Central Terminal, the subway system, and the elevated Park Avenue viaduct. The viaduct, built from 1917-1919, is located on Park Avenue between 40th and 42nd Streets. The raised roadway, which routes traffic around Grand Central Terminal on an elevated terrace, returns to street level on 45th Street. Over the years the area occupied by the viaduct has come to be known as Pershing Square. The city once planned to build a plaza named in honor of General John J. Pershing adjacent to the viaduct but the Pershing Square Building was built on that spot in 1923 instead.
