On This Day in 1954, a three-day dedication ceremony of SFO's new Airport Terminal Building (later the Central Terminal, now Terminal 2) kicked off. The event drew hundreds of thousands of visitors with forty-three aircraft on exhibition. A spacious new restaurant named the International Room provided panoramic views of the airfield. Later called the Central Terminal, the building has been modified several times over the years. Now named Terminal 2, it is still part of SFO.
