Additional Details:
The Heart of the station is the Grand Lobby. The station building is in the form of a "T" of which the grand lobby forms the cross-piece and the main waiting room the stem. Entrance to the grand lobby is from the Plaza, beyond which lies a public Park. Surrounding the lobby are all the public conveniences, such as the waiting rooms, restaurants, parcel rooms, post office, telephone and telegraph booths, book store, drug store, smoking rooms, and barber shop. The Grand Lobby has an area of 22,060 square feet. The old Union Depot plant could be placed in the space occupied by the Grand Lobby and Main Waiting room alone.
