 Union Station (Los Angeles) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Union Station in Los Angeles, which opened in May 1939, is the last of the great train stations built in America, but even with its massive and ornate waiting room and adjacent ticket concourse, it is considered small in comparison to other union stations.
Union Station was designed by the father and son team of John Parkinson and Donald B. Parkinson, who also designed Los Angeles City Hall, and whose firm designed many landmark Los Angeles buildings from the late 19th century onward.
Nearby is Olvera Street, the original heart of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Main Jail, and the Piper Technical Center.
