Grand Central Terminal will be celebrating its centennial all year long, and though the train station is located in Manhattan, there's a reason Queens buffs can share in the pride and excitement of this historic occasion: The iconic statues were made in our own Long Island City.

Photographer August Kruzensk visited the William Bradley and Sons Stone Yard as the statues, which include the mythological figures Minerva, Hercules and Mercury, were being crafted and assembled. The photos Kruzensk took in 1914 can be viewed at the Archives at Queens Library.
