Union Station under Construction - A Testament to American Progress and Architectural Mastery, 1910-1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured between 1910 and 1917 by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio, presents a glimpse into the past as Union Station takes shape in the heart of America. The Beaux-Arts architectural masterpiece, designed by Daniel Burnham and George Grant Elmslie, is a symbol of the country's industrial and artistic prowess during the 1910s. The photograph showcases a bustling construction site, with workers in various stages of building the grand station. The intricate arches, columns, and glass windows are already in place, while other areas are still undergoing development. A hoist can be seen in the background, lifting construction materials to higher levels, a testament to the ingenuity of the era's technology. The photograph is reminiscent of Greek architecture, with its grand arches and columns, reflecting the influence of the classical artistic school on American design during this period. The mathematician within us can appreciate the intricate calculations and planning required to construct such a monumental structure. The photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a visual representation of the country's progress and the dedication of its people to creating lasting, architectural legacies. The Union Station, now a National Historic Landmark, stands as a testament to the vision and hard work of the past, a symbol of America's rich architectural heritage.
