If you are looking for the atmosphere of the old times, you have to visit the Union Station in Los Angeles. It was built by a father and a son – John and Donald Parkinson. The station was built in the colonial and popular at that time art-deco styles. The snow-white celling and the delicate decoration from painted wood have been saved in the interior. The floor is made from marble and resembles an artistic canvas.
Another outstanding peculiarity of the Union Station is the charming inner yard. In warm seasons it is full of blooming roses. The old fountains, decorated with mosaics, have also saved in the yard. The Union Station is the central station of the city. Every day it has about 60 000 passengers.
The first station was built there in the 19th century and called La Grand. Today’s building has appeared at the place of the old one in 1939. In 1980 the railway station was included in a list of the state meaning monuments. Visitors of Los Angeles like to come at this place. There you can take wonderful photos, adore with the painted marble tessrera and even walk in a romantic inner yard.
