Cincinnati Union Terminal (Cincinnati, Ohio)

Erected in 1928-33, this outstanding Art Deco railroad terminal and bus station was designed by architects Alfred Fellheimer and Steward Wagner. It features mosaic murals by artist Winold Reiss. The structure stands at 1301 Western Avenue and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. In 1977 it was designated a National Historic Landmark.

 

Located at the confluence of the Licking and Ohio rivers in the southwest corner of Ohio, Cincinnati is an historically significant riverport and the anchor of one of the largest metropolitan areas in the Midwestern and Southern U.S. It serves as the seat of Hamilton County, and as of 2020, is the third largest municipality (designated as a city) in Ohio. The southern portion of the metro area extends into northern Kentucky, while the east extends into southeastern Indiana, making Cincinnati an economic hub for three states.
