Do you remember Grand Central before it was "revitalized" in 1998? The ceiling was completely black. The restoration architects (Beyer Blinder Belle) left a little patch which stands out remarkably from the blue of the ceiling. The ceiling was not re-painted. That bright blue was under all the layers of tobacco smoke stains. NW corner of the ceiling. Nice touch - the before and after.
