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 Modern style, with Moorish architectural details. It was named the Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal (LAUPT), until the current owner, 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 #80000811. Exterior view of the main entrance of Los Angeles Union Station, which faces Alameda Street.
