The stamp, designed by Dan Cosgrove, depicts the main concourse of Grand Central Terminal, with its celestial ceiling and famous opal-faced clock. The terminal opened on February 2, 1913, and was an immediate sensation, hailed for its grandeur and innovative design. It was built to replace an earlier station on the same site and was a testament to the power and prestige of the railroad in the early 20th century. Over the years, Grand Central has been threatened with demolition but was saved by preservation efforts, most notably led by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Today, it stands as a vibrant public space and a cherished piece of New York's history.
