Shipping magnate "Commodore" Cornelius Vanderbilt acquired the Hudson River Railroad in 1864.    In 1869, Vanderbilt purchased property between 42nd and 48th Streets, Lexington and Madison Avenue for construction of a new train depot and rail yard.  On this site would rise the first Grand Central.

Directly above 
Grand Central Station 
 was built the once famous Commodore Hotel (now called Grand Hyatt).  This where we always stayed when in NYC - which made for some interesting cigarette and food runs to the bowels of the train station at 3am when checking in.
