EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling concourse of Chicago Union Station in 1925. Standing tall and proud, this majestic new railroad terminal occupies an entire block bounded by Jackson Boulevard, Adams Street, Canal, and Clinton Streets in the heart of Chicago, Illinois. Serving as a hub for four prominent railroads - the Pennsylvania, Chicago Burlington & Quincy; Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul; and the Chicago and Alton Companies - this station was truly a testament to architectural grandeur. The passenger station itself is an imposing rectangular edifice made entirely of gleaming white marble. Every detail has been meticulously designed with improvements that have amounted to a staggering total cost of approximately $65 million (a significant sum even by today's standards). As we gaze at this historical snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the echoes of countless footsteps hurrying across its polished floors. The concourse buzzes with activity as travelers embark on their journeys or reunite with loved ones after long separations. This image captures not only a physical space but also represents an era when train travel was at its peak - a symbol of progress and connection between cities and people. It serves as a reminder of how transportation infrastructure shapes our lives while evoking nostalgia for simpler times when train stations were more than just places to catch trains; they were gateways to adventure and possibility.
