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 a view from the southwest.
