Additional Details:
The new Union Station in Kansas city fronts on a broad Plaza, with three massive arches forming the main entrance. At night, with light streaming through the great portals, the station takes on a new beauty. While the great stone of the exterior itself softens the facade, the architectural features of the building are accentuated by the lights and shadows. The arches in the illustration are 60 feet high. The Plaza is the property of the station company; the park beyond belongs to the city and connects with the municipal park and boulevard system.
