==Development==
The Penn Plaza complex remains one of the most controversial in New York City history because it involved the destruction, beginning in 1963, of the original [[McKim, Mead and White]]-designed [[Pennsylvania Station (1910–1963)|Penn Station]] (1910), a revered piece of [[New York architecture]]. Its replacements were what architects and civic purists regard as mediocre office and entertainment structures.{{fact|date=September 2013}}
