Union Station - Daniel Burnham’s Beaux-Arts Rail Hub

Union Station, designed by architect Daniel Burnham and opened in 1907, is a major Beaux-Arts railroad station and transportation hub in Washington, D.C. Its barrel-vaulted main concourse and grand headhouse reflect early 20th-century monumental rail architecture, and the facility underwent a major restoration and commercial redevelopment that reopened in 1988. The station continues to serve Amtrak, commuter rail, intercity buses, and the Washington Metro.
