Indiana Evansville, Greyhound Bus Station; Bru Burger Bar
The Art Moderne Style Greyhound station in Evansville, Indiana, designed by William S. Arrasmith, was constructed in 1939. The Evansville bus station's design is characteristic of the modernistic, streamlined style employed by Greyhound in the late 1930s during what is now called Greyhound's "blue period." The round corners, flat roof, smooth porcelain enamel walls and horizontal windows were incorporated to give the building the streamlined effect. The use of the decorative "Broadway" lettering on the "Greyhound' sign was intended to project an upbeat modern appearance. Greyhound vacated the station in 2007. The City of Evansville acquired the building and donated it to Indiana Landmark, a nonprofit preservation organization. In 2016, the Cunningham Restaurant Group (Michael Cunningham) leased the building and opened Bru Burger, an upscale restaurant.
The former Evansville Greyhound bus station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
