| Last SHot of the palque, which denotes this station as being on the National Register of Historic Places. The photo shows the Main Waiting Room of Hoboken Terminal and explanation. Hoboken Terminbal , a remarkable example of the Beaux Arts architecture built during the City Beautiful Movement, displays significant architectural and engineering features . The architectural treatment of the interior spaces is consistent with granduer characteristics of Beaux Arts design. The main waiting room, adorned with ornametnal plaster and buff limestone, is styled in the French tradition with classical motif pilasters, wreaths and promenant fenestration. The impresssive marble staircase with cast iron railing, which leads to the Ferry portion of the building, the skylight of Tiffany stained galss and the former large cast iron clock on the west elevation of the room are all striking features of the space. Transom lights over the ticket windows and exit doors are also Tiffany glass, as are the skylights in the ferry concourse. The highly ornate and fabloulsy executed interior design of the main waiting room is an important factor contributng to the building's national architectural significance.
