Description
This photograph is of a section of the domed ceiling of the Cincinnati Union Terminal. The terminal was a significant development in the history of Cincinnati transportation. One of the last great train stations built, Union Terminal has become one of the iconic symbols of the city and one of the most widely regarded examples of the Art Deco style. Since its opening in 1933, Union Terminal has had a long and storied history, from the exciting times of World War ll to being the home of three museums.
This building has special significance for me because I remember talking with the soldiers coming home from WW11 when a young girl with my mother waiting for the train.
