Union Station, between 1910 and 1920: A Timeless Monument of Transportation History This photograph, created by Harris & Ewing between 1910 and 1920, offers a glimpse into the past of Union Station, an iconic landmark of transportation history in the United States. The Beaux-Arts and Classical Revival architectural masterpiece stands proudly in the heart of the city, its grand facade adorned with intricate details and ornate columns. The image captures the essence of the era, with automobiles parked along the road leading to the station, their tires deflated and worn, reflecting the passage of time. Motorcars were a novelty during this period, and their presence at Union Station underscores the station's role as a transportation hub, connecting the country by rail and road. Trains, the primary mode of long-distance travel during the early 20th century, dominate the scene, their smokestacks billowing plumes of steam into the sky. The station's expansive glass windows allow for a clear view of the trains, their engines gleaming in the sunlight. The photograph, taken from an outdoor vantage point, invites the viewer to explore the station's architectural beauty and the hustle and bustle of transportation activity. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the era, a time when travel was an adventure and Union Station served as a gateway to new experiences and opportunities. This photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to any collection of American history or transportation history. Its timeless quality and historical significance make it a must-have for scholars, historians, and anyone with an appreciation for the past.
