Grand Rapids Union Station

A Georgian Revival building of two stories, it was built in 1900 on 61 Ionia Avenue SW and was closed in 1958.

[1][2] In five years after Union Station's 1900 construction, 750,000 passengers passed through it.

In early decades, Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad excursion trains to the station brought more than 2000 visitors from southern Michigan and Indiana on Sundays.

[3] The station served the Pere Marquette Railway (after the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway acquired the PM in 1947 C&O trains passed through), Michigan Central Railroad and Pennsylvania Railroad (which had acquired the GR&I).

The Chicago–Grand Rapids trains were added to the appellation, the Pere Marquettes in 1965.
