The arcade
Pennell, Joseph, 1857-1926 · 1919
"Dignified beyond words, to look at, horrible beyond words to have to climb up or shuffle down. These stairs but a worthy shrine to Cassatt, who if he cannot say as Wren says in St. Paul’s, Circumspici can say of the station, I caused it to be built. I conquered New York." J[oseph] P[ennell].
