WELCOME TO UNION STATION
Located in the heart of downtown, Union Station bridges Wichita’s Old Town, INTRUST Bank Arena Neighborhood, Delano district, and our Douglas Design District, the four major components that makeup Wichita’s core.
Originally opened in 1914, Union Station was an integral part of Wichita’s history. Over the past 100 years, this iconic property has connected the city’s downtown center and continues to be a catalyst for Wichita’s growth.
More About Us
Historic Union Station
In the 1800s, trains brought growth and prosperity to cities, but switch engines often blocked streets with no regulations. To address this, Mayor Charles L. Davidson in 1909 promised to elevate the tracks across Douglas and build a union terminal. By 1910, four railroads agreed to raise their tracks from Kellogg past Second Street and fund a grand union station. Designed in the Beaux Arts style by architect Louis Curtiss, the station’s plans were unveiled in 1911, and by 1912 contracts were finalized for the $2.5 million project, which included the depot and elevated tracks.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ein sehr schön restauriertes Bahnhofsgebäude mit sehr vielen und unterschiedlichen Restaurants drum herum. Dazu ein beeindruckender Platz. Downtown Wichita hat nur wenige Attraktionen, und dieses ist eine davon. Falls Dir meine Rezension hilfreich ist, würde ich mich sehr über ein LIKE freuen.
