The iconic pink-granite eagle statue, originally positioned at Manhattan's Penn Station, has returned to public view after being stored since 2019. Weighing 1,700 pounds, this statue was among dozens that adorned the original station before its demolition in the 1960s. Its return marks a significant moment in the ongoing redevelopment of the Penn District, led by Vornado Realty Trust. The eagle was cleaned and restored with minimal effort, highlighting its relatively preserved condition despite years of storage.
"It is a privilege to bring back the iconic eagle that once graced Penn Station as part of our transformation of the public realm."
"That sculpture was in very good condition, we actually didn't need to do a lot of restoration on the stone piece."
