A House Built Close to the Train, but Only Temporarily

NYTimes.com: Among the items that have passed through or made a temporary home in Grand Central Terminal in the last 100 years: Three elephants on the way to a circus in Boston; an art school; a tennis court; a Redstone rocket; a Philippe Petit tightrope walk; a model train show. And now, a two-story house. Over the weekend, two teams of 50 construction workers each toiled for 48 hours to raise a 21-foot-high, 1,540-square-foot living space in Vanderbilt Hall, the vast marble-floored entryway near 42nd Street.
