At well over 100 years old, Tampa Union Station is one of the few
historic buildings in Tampa that still serves its original purpose.
Designed by architect J.F. Leitner of Wilmington, North Carolina, Tampa
Union Station has seen millions of travelers pass through its doors
since its 1912 opening--from servicemen and women to flower children and
from families on vacation to college kids setting out on their own. Once
threatened with demolition, the train station reopened its doors to the
traveling public in 1998 following a multimillion-dollar restoration.
Through images from archives and individuals, Tampa Union Station
captures moments in time related to this iconic building, including
pictures of trains such as Seaboard Air Line's Silver Meteor and
Atlantic Coast Line's Tampa Special, as well as other fascinating looks
at life at the station.
