I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

23. USREST_161015_132.JPG: Former President Calvin Coolidge and President Herbert Hoover at Union Station, 1928. When Burnham designed Union Station, he allowed for a private entrance for US presidents and visiting dignitaries, which was large suite of numerous rooms with its own exist out to the train platform. This was done in response to the assassination of President McKinley at the old Baltimore and Ohio railroad station, and the desire to provide a layer of security for high-profile rail passengers.
24. USREST_161015_137.JPG: Lunch Room, 1908. Today's Columbus Club space used to be the Lunch Room, a single-level room with a soda fountain for patrons who preferred a more casual dining experience than the elegant Dining Room in East Hall.
25. USREST_161015_143.JPG: East Hall Dining Room, c 1921-1921. The Savarin Restaurant took over terminal restaurant operations for the Pennsylvania Railroad in the 1920s and ran the Dining Room for decades.
26. USREST_161015_149.JPG: Station from SW, c 1913-1917. The station in its final form after all of the statuary and the Columbus Memorial Fountain have been installed.

28. USREST_161015_159.JPG: Ladies Waiting Room, c 1922. This room provided a smoke-free haven for female travelers looking to relax elsewhere than the busy Mail Waiting Room. It is now the location for the Thunder Grill restaurant.
29. USREST_161015_164.JPG: Main Hall in the fall of 1907. Daniel Burnham arranged for a test installation of several different designs of Louis Saint-Gaudens' Roman Legionnaires on the Colonnade to visualize how the natural light would hit the statues from the West Hall skylights. Pictured here are two design options that were considered; one with its arms overhead, and another with its arms positioned down. The latter was the design that was ultimately chosen.
30. USREST_161015_170.JPG: Main Hall, 1921. The forty legionnaires adorn Main Hall and West Hall after its completion. Burnham and Saint-Gaudens chose that number to represent the number of the states in the United States at the time of the station's opening in 1908.
31. USREST_161015_177.JPG: Ticket Lobby, c 1908-1920. West Hall is the location of the station's first Ticket Lobby, which held the ticket office and the baggage room in the earlier decades of the station.
32. USREST_161015_181.JPG: Station from SE View, c 1910. This photograph is notable for the absence of the large statuary of the Progress of Railroading. The statues were carved in Vermont and installed by Matt Haley, a premier monument setter of the time, in the fall of 1912.

56. USREST_161015_331.JPG: The National Visitor Center information desk in the neglected Main Hall, prior to the start of the restoration work, which began in 1986. Water stains are visible in the carpet from the leaks in the ceiling.
57. USREST_161015_336.JPG: The National Visitor Center's PAVE sits empty prior to the start of the restoration, c 1980s. Previous to the restoration of the 1980s, lots of changes were made to the station that did not help preserve its historic integrity, including the construction of the PAVE, and addition of blue paint to the ceiling details. None of these elements were original to the building, and now they have all been fully restored.
58. USREST_161015_341.JPG: Horologist Elton Howe works on restoring the original face of the Main Hall's clock, c 1986-1988.

61. USREST_161015_355.JPG: Spyros Xanthos sets down the red Champlain dots in the new white marble flooring during the 1980s restoration, c 1986-1988. Since the original marble floor had long been replaced and the Vermont marble quarried out, John Barianos sampled the remaining original floor found in the Presidential Suite, to find a matching replacement. He found it in the Greek Pentelic marble from the Mount Pentelicus region near Athens. The new floor was installed in a pattern that replicated the original design.
62. USREST_161015_360.JPG: Workers pouring and smoothing cement for the new Main Hall floor, c 1986-1988.

67. USREST_161019_01.JPG: View of West Hall from Main Hall with a glimpse of blue paint, prior to the restoration, c 1980s It is believed that the blue paint was added in the 1950s in an effort to improve aesthetics. The paint color was not original to the design, and has since been removed.
68. USREST_161019_12.JPG: Union Station Main Hall Plaster Coffers in the Main Hall The use of "egg and dart" moldings: "Egg and dart" moldings are classical decorative elements applied to building features such as cornices and soffit panels. These moldings appear in great abundance within the octagonal and rectangular ceiling coffers of Union Station. They were used in the monumental public spaces of Greece (400 BC) where the oval-shaped eggs and the arrow-shaped darts are believed to have depicted fertility and conquest in war. The moldings were subsequently applied during the Italian Renaissance to the cathedrals, markets and palaces of Europe. Beaux Art-influenced American architects -- Daniel Burnham and Peirce Anderson -- revived their use again in the neo-classical splendor of Union Station's powerful Main Waiting Room.
69. USREST_161019_19.JPG: Union Station Main Hall
70. USREST_161019_21.JPG: Egg and dart details form the Temple of Nerva Trajanus. Plate II of Book 4, from The Four Book of Architecture by Andrea Palladio, first published in 1570.
71. USREST_161019_23.JPG: Typical Main Hall octagonal coffer featuring three concentric sets of cast plaster egg and dart. The coffer center contains gold leaf.
72. USREST_161019_24.JPG: Typical Cross Vault with square coffers. Each coffer features two concentric sets of cast plaster egg and dart. The coffer center contains gold leaf.
73. USREST_161019_27.JPG: Union Station Main Hall Plaster Coffers in the Cross Vaults Repairing the Cross Vaults: During the 1980s restoration project, the plaster ceilings in the Main Hall were restored to their 1908 appearance. As a result of severe roof leaks above the cross vault ceilings, moisture damage in the square plaster coffers reappeared in the early 1990s. Although unsightly, it was not unsafe. As part of the 2011 earthquake repair and restoration project, the damaged plaster panels have been carefully removed, and where possible, utilized to prepare molds for casting new elements that match exactly. The molds for the coffer panels and "egg and dart" moldings were cast in the plasterer's shop. New seismic elements will be installed later in 2014 (above the Main Hall ceilings) to provide structural reinforcement of the coffers. The new plaster components of the coffers will then be set in place, painted and gilded.

These diffusers are situated between the octagonal coffers and supply the heating and cooling air into the Main Hall space. The eggs and darts match the others in the Main Hall and cross vaults, and are fabricated from pressed zinc sheets soldered onto the steel frame. The square center grille is clad with 22-karat gold leaf, and all the remaining surfaces are painted. The dirt and grime on the surface of the coffer has accumulated over the past 25 years, since the completion of the 1980s restoration (the coffers are not accessible for routine cleaning).
81. USREST_161019_41.JPG: Typical restored ventilation diffuser ready to be reinstalled into the ceiling of the Main Hall. The square center grille has been replaced with a new steel sheet containing larger holes, to permit increased air flow and improve the efficiency of the heating and cooling system. It is clad with 23-karat gold leaf, which is heavier and more durable than the earlier gold leaf. The fastening system for the coffers have also been redesigned to permit occasional removal and cleaning of the ventilation coffers (accessed from the attic above), thus preventing the build-up of dirt and grime.
82. USREST_161019_48.JPG: Newly cast section of plaster eggs and darts are center panel for the square cross vault coffer. The new plaster composition is the same as the original (i.e. gypsum), except the panel and the eggs and darts contain fiberglass reinforcing in addition to the dunlap reinforcing.
