Our Saturday, May 4 visit to the Glendale Grand Central Air Terminal will feature a presentation on the history of early commercial air travel and the airport (as well as its later incarnations) by historian Steve Spiegel (who designed the museum exhibit housed in the building), architect John Berley who oversaw Disney’s incredible restoration of the building along with Jeff Greene, founder and Executive Chairman of EverGreene Architectural Arts. Disney legend Bob Gurr will be in attendance with some photos detailing his 85 year personal history with Grand Central Air Terminal and some footage his father shot on the runway!
Get your bags packed and your best vintage traveling outfits ready for take off!
Much gratitude to Disney for making it possible to study this magnificent restoration from inside and out!
