Abstract
Tampa's Union Station dates to 1912. The building is in maroon brick with a white, cast-stone trim. Bilaterally symmetrical, the facades in a grand single story proclaim the large hall inside. The station is an example of Beaux Arts Classicism, in a quiet way. Today, many Tampans do not know of the railroad station's existence. Before World War II, everyone did. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This is the west facade.
