Union Terminal Cleveland / New York Central vintage poster
Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
c. 1938
Since the late 1800s, railroads had been constructing train stations of monumental proportions, steeped in classical design. In 1925, it was time for Cleveland to gain such a structure, unifying the city's rather discombobulated rail system and adding architectural beauty to the landscape.
Graham, Anderson, Probst, and White-the firm who completed Chicago's Union Station that same year-were given the project, which would take until 1930 to complete. For some time, it remained the tallest building in Cleveland. This poster is part of a series Ragan created for the N.Y. Central celebrating cities that it served.
