2007
Midwest Region Winner
St. Louis Union
Station
St. Louis, Missouri
Photographer: Lucia King
Lucia King's winning
photo of the St. Louis Union Station overlooking Grand Hall captures
the majesty of the architect, Theodore C. Link's design. Erected
in 1892-94, Union Station and its Terminal Hotel is the country's
finest surviving example of the High Victorian picturesque eclectic
style as applied to railroad stations in the 19th century. The adjoining
single-vault, steel trainshed, designed by the engineer George H.
Pegram to cover 32 tracks, was the largest such structure erected
in this country during the last century..
