About this place
What is Nashville Union Station and Trainshed?
Nashville's Union Station is a former railroad terminal designed by Henry Hobson Richardson and Richard Montfort that was constructed beginning in 1898 and officially opened over two years later in 1900. Montfort - an engineer of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad (L&N) - spent several years planning the building's construction, and it is now known for its striking Romanesque Revival architecture that stands out from other train stations of the time. At the time, Nashville was becoming a modern metropolis in the South, and the terminal was created to cater to an increasing amount of guests who used trains to reach the city. The station served passengers of multiple railroads, the most prevalent of which being the L&N and the Nashville, Chattanooga, & St. Louis Line (NC&StL).
