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!
