Union Station under Construction: A Testament to American Engineering and Artistry (1910-1917) This photograph captures Union Station undergoing construction between 1910 and 1917, as depicted in this stunning image by Harris & Ewing. The Beaux-Arts architectural masterpiece, located in the heart of Washington D.C., was designed to be the grand gateway to the nation's capital. The image showcases the intricate details of the station's design, with columns, arches, and other architectural features taking shape. The use of hoisting machinery and the presence of workers in the foreground emphasizes the immense scale and complexity of the project. The station's classical design, reminiscent of ancient Greek architecture, was a deliberate nod to the country's heritage and the mathematical precision required to bring such a grand vision to life. The photographers, George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, were part of the renowned Harris Ewing Inc. photographic studio. Their work, including this image, is now part of the collections at the Library of Congress. The photograph serves as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the era, blending art and engineering in a way that continues to captivate and inspire. The scene is a reminder of the importance of perseverance and the collective effort required to bring ambitious projects to fruition. The Union Station, completed in 1924, remains a symbol of American pride and a beloved landmark in the nation's capital.
