Framing Union Square-The station has changed throughout the years. Mary Miss brought back these old artifacts throughout the station, along with red frames with messages in them. Some of these artifacts are eagle plaques from the abandoned side platforms.
The eagles line up on the hallway...well not all eagles are showing!
