Chicago Union Station

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Union Station in Chicago was built by Daniel Burnham’s successor firm Graham, Anderson, Probst & White after Burnham’s death. The station was a major element in the West Loop development as laid out in the 1909 Plan of Chicago. The station's ornate Beaux-Arts main waiting room, with its vaulted skylight, statuary, and connecting lobbies, staircases, and balconies, is one of Chicago’s great public spaces.
