Los Angeles Union Station
Los Angeles, California
built 1939
Architecturally distinctive for its Mission Revival style, Los Angeles Union Station is the largest railroad passenger terminal west of the Mississippi. Designed by father and son architects John and Donald Parkinson, it spans 25.5 acres. The facility was completed in 1939, and
was placed on the National Register of Historic Places 1980.
Today, in addition to providing transit service to thousands of travelers on a daily basis, Los Angeles Union Station is also home to a Train-to-Table Farmers Market. This market features fresh fruit from the area with crops such as lemons, cauliflower, grapes, and celery. |
