The proposed redevelopment of the entire GPCA has small buildings and a new main entrance to the park, styling with classical architectural elements such as Roman columns and a holistic symmetric site plan.
The design concept claims “rebirth of classical architecture inspired by the original pen station”. According to GPCA website,
Washburn told Dezen, “Architectural work paintings from McCim, Mede and White Archive of the original pen station in New York Historical were our inspiration.”
“In translating from 1910 ink-on-linen from 2025 Revit, we discovered some bold: classical architecture is timeless as a architecture of transport. Trains, vehicles and technology all change over time, but we, people, New Yorkers.”
A glass atrium is shown in the rendering that is affixed from the back of the 2 pen tower, which currently faces MSG, which will serve as a new primary entrance. The arched atrium train meets the classical structure of the hall, which is similar to the interior of the original pen station to be completed in 1910.

“This was a lesson from my guru Senator Mionihan, who used to shine shoes in the classical hall of the original pen station as a spoiled urin. He could shine a millionaire shoes. But he was similar to citizens in that classical, civilian place. Grand pen would be uplifted for all.”
The original pen station building was completed by the Architecture Studios McCim, Mead, and White in 1910 and an external line with an outer line.
It was demolished to make a place for the upcoming Madison Square Garden in the 1960s.
