Union
Station was built by the L&N Railroad and was opened in 1900 with
a fanfare celebration. In 1986 the old train terminal which was abandoned
for many years was renovated and reopened as a hotel. We obtained some
of the wood from the floor joists of the original building which was Douglas
Fir, and later we obtained wood from the Train Shed which was an architectural
marvel. It was demolished to make room for a parking lot.
