About this Event
Join us for a journey through the historic Union Station.
Learn the history and architecture of Union Station.
This extraordinary Spanish Colonial Revival and Art Deco monument was built to serve as the gateway to Los Angeles – a role which, in many ways, it continues to play today. It continues to serve tens of thousands of commuters daily.
From the laconservancy.org website:
"We’ll visit the stunning former Fred Harvey Restaurant site and hear about the women who worked there in the 1940s and the Ticketing Concourse and Waiting Room, where passengers purchased tickets alongside soldiers headed to war.
You’ll learn about the Japanese families who were deported from Union Station during the same period and how L.A.’s current Chinatown was formed in relation to Union Station’s construction. Along the way, you’ll see newly restored architectural details as well as famous interiors recognizable from decades of film and television spots.
See this beloved L.A. landmark up close, and learn how Union Station continues to evolve."
