Hoboken - a photo on Flickriver

Hoboken

            The beautiful patina of the copper-clad surfaces is seen here in the main entrance of the beautiful Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad (DL&W) Terminal in Hoboken New Jersey.  DL&W hired architect Kenneth M. Murchison who designed this majestic Beaux-Arts style terminal that opened in 1907.  A little known fact is that the copper material that was used to cover the exterior of this beautiful terminal is the same copper supply that was used for the Statue of Liberty.  When the terminal was under construction, there was so much excess copper left over from the Statue project that if the DL&W terminal had not utilized it, it would have been sold as scrap metal.  So many have noticed the distinctive green patina of station strongly resemble the Statue of Liberty’s green patina not realizing they shared a common source of copper, though the terminal is in the process much like the Lady Liberty did in the 1980’s of getting over oxidized portions replaced with new copper surfaces.
