The Chicago Northwestern Passenger Terminal designed by
Frost & Granger c. 1911 on Madison Street in
Chicago, Illinois. The station was built by the
Chicago and North Western Railway to replace their
Wells Street Station. In 1984 much of the original station was demolished and rebuilt as the
Ogilvie Transportation Center. Click

Airline terminals could take a lesson
ReplyDeleteI may be imagining this, but the stairway photo reminded me of the stairway scene from the movie The Untouchables... I wonder if the film makers would have gone to the trouble to recreate that staircase or if one staircase in a grand railroad station looks just like another.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love the Ladies Waiting Roon with the odd scattering of rocking chairs. Very odd room.
The Untouchables used the stairway in Union Station in Chicago.
