When Jackie Saved Grand Central
When Jackie Saved Grand Central: The True Story of Jacqueline Kennedy's Fight for an American Icon | Natasha Wing
5 posts | 5 read | 7 to read
Before she was an iconic First Lady of the United States, Jackie Kennedy was a born-and-raised New Yorker. She loved everything about her city, from the natural beauty of the parks to the architectural history of the buildings. So when the owners of Grand Central wanted to build a skyscraper on top of the famous train station, Jackie knew they had to be stopped. She helped inspire thousands of people to come together and fight to protect the historic landmark. From letter-writing campaigns all the way to the Supreme Court, this little-known story celebrates winning in the face of immeasurable odds and how one person can make a big difference.

In April as we were exiting the GC station in NYC, I read the plaque dedicated to Jackie Kennedy Onassis for the work she and her army of supporters did to save it from demolition in the early 1990s. Otherwise I wouldn‘t have known about these books

"The fight to save Grand Central changed how people viewed old buildings. Rather than tearing them down, preservationists now had a model for how to save historic buildings all over the country, protecting our precious heritage."
