I didn't say "Grant", I said "Grand". Grant actually is the link between the IND style and the 59th lower level and platform extensions style. Grant still had the glossy frieze band, rather than the square band tiles with the same lumpy texture as the rest of the tiles; and the tiles were the same shape as Euclid, though they were the same green used in the following phase.In the 60's, the went from the green back to white or tan with a colored band, as at Grand; and 57th, the final 60's station, dropped the band altogether. Depending on when exactly the '49 SAS plan was tiled, it would have either been like this, or, if a few years later, then perhaps like the Bway retiling. |
