History

The construction of Union Station was fully completed in April 1908, launching one of DC’s largest transportation hubs in the process. Architect Daniel Burnham designed the Beaux Arts building, which featured a jaw-dropping Main Hall (also known as the “General Waiting Room”) that dazzled patrons. By the early 1940s, roughly 200,000 passengers would pass through the station on any given day, as the railways were the most popular avenue for long-distance 온라인 카지노 at the time.

The station faced difficulties after the Second World War as plane 온라인 카지노 became more popular. The facility was turned into a new National Visitor Center in 1976, but for only a short time due to poor funding and organization. By 1981, the building was in total disarray, leading to the structure being closed to the public and prompting Congress to pass the Union Station Redevelopment Act.

Union Station reopened in 1988 with restored elements and three new levels of retail space. Its next difficulty arose from an earthquake that shook DC in August of 2011. By the fall of 2016, the entire Main Hall of the station had been restored, matching the Beaux Arts splendor showcased by Burnham in the early 1900s.

These days, Union Station is again a crown jewel for DC, serving as one of the country’s busiest rail facilities as well as a prime destination for shopping and dining.
