Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
Located at 800 N. Alameda Street, Union Station was designed by the father and son team of John Parkinson and Donald B. Parkinson, and opened in May 1939. The structure combines Spanish Colonial, Mission Revival, and Streamline Moderne styles with Moorish architectural details. It was named the Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal (LAUPT) until Catellus Development officially changed the name to Los Angeles Union Station (LAUS). In 1980 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, Building #8000081. It is Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #101.
Looking southwest from a tiled portico at Union Station towards Los Angeles City Hall. A glimpse of a billboard advertising Carlton cigarettes is partially visible (foreground).
