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.
