Grand Army Plaza, located at Flatbush Avenue and Grand Army Plaza, is a local station with a very wide island platform, which the express tracks and BMT Brighton Line tracks pass underneath (built at the same time as part of the Dual Contracts). The only mosaic is a small "P". In the mezzanine, there is a ceramic and bronze relief sculpture based on the original Template:IRT logo, featuring angels blowing a trumpet and gesturing toward a subway car. The work is entitled Wings for the IRT, and was created in 1995 by artist Jane Greengold.
