Union Terminal in Cincinnati was designed with an attention to detail that simply isn’t found much in modern architecture.
There’s a lot to unpack in the above picture- the lights, the jaw dropping mosaic tile artwork, the ceiling, the marble and the font on the directional sign “to trains” are all worthy of our study.
The space is both grandiose and simplistic. Ornate and streamlined. That’s the thing about art deco style – they keep the lines clean but make a big statement!
It’s a showstopper, isn’t it? Come back tomorrow. We will visit one of the museums that lives in this building!
Thanks for sharing this – really harkens back to a golden age of travel in Ohio and the US in general. Cheers!
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Oh, to go back in time to see it all anew!
Love it! It looks like the mosaics tell a bit of history. “Showstopper” was the perfect word used to describe what I would call “the grand hall.” Looking forward to tomorrow’s post.
It’s a great place. I really hope you find your way there someday.
The attention to details is amazing!
It’s too bad that they don’t make buildings like this anymore!
No kidding! Everything is so plain and sad these days.
