View this itemUnion Station, ca. 1911
Transcribed from postcard: "This new depot is 145 x 185 fet. and cost, with its switching yards, $1,000,000 for construction. It is the most northern "out post" of the Harriman system of 13,000 miles of railroads, the greatest in the world." During the early 1900's, there was increasing interest in connecting railroads with Seattle. The high demand and competition between railways resulted in two railway stations being built directly next to each other at 4th Avenue and Jackson Street. King Street Station was constructed in 1906 and can be distinguished by its tower. Union Station (which is depicted in this postcard) was constructed in 1911 and originally known as the Oregon and Washington Station. (Alternative names for Union Station include the Union Depot and the Northern Pacific Great Northern Depot.) The back of this postcard describes the station as "This new depot is 145x185 ft. and cost, with its switching yards, $1,000,000 for construction. It is the most northern "out post" of the Harriman system of 13,000 miles of railroads, the greatest in the world." For a good example of the differences between Union Station and King Street Station see spl_pc_01011 where Union Station appears in the foreground and King Street Station appears in the background.
