| 説明 | Built between 1917 and 1923, this Classical Revival-style train station was designed by Charles Sumner Frost to replace an earlier Union Station, built in 1881 and burned in 1915. The large stone-clad building features a facade with large Tuscan columns, massive windows at the portico that stretch two stories high, ionic pilasters on the side wings, a simple cornice with dentils, and brick cladding on the rear. Inside, the building features many beautifully detailed grand spaces, including a spacious grand hall in the front, a concourse with a brick ceiling made up of multiple vaults, and a vaulted waiting room over the train platforms in the rear. The building fell into decline after World War II, hastened with the end of passenger service in 1971. The building was utilized by the US Postal Service, with the upper floors of the building being converted into condos in the early 2000s. Between 2009 and 2012, the building was renovated under the direction of Hammel, Green, and Abrahamson Architects and Engineers, with intercity passenger train service being restored in 2014. The building is a contributing structure in the Lowertown Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. |
