Los Angeles, CA Union Station ~ the old Harvey House Restaurant

Mary Colter designed the interior of the Harvey House restaurant. Why it has never been reopened when 1,606,121 people go through the station every year, I just don't know.

 

Union Station was designed by John Parkinson and Donald B. Parkinson who also designed the Los Angeles City Hall among many other landmarks. The structure is an interesting combination between Mission Revival and Streamline Moderne style. It opened in 1939 and is the last great train station constructed in the United States. Amtrak, Metrolink, the Metro Red line, Metro Gold line, and buses serve the station. It is on the National Register #80000811 (and really should also be a National Historic Landmark).
