Frame the Works

From the air, Chicago Union Station is a two square block by one block angular structure, the severe lines broken up in the center by the curving glass and metal vaulted skylight over the Great Hall. Streets surrounding the station are Adams Street to the north, South Canal Street on the east, South Clinton Street to the west, and West Jackson Boulevard on the south. Part of the train shed over the south concourse is shown in the lower right corner. Just south of the station is the Union Station Transit Center, a hub for buses. In the lower left corner is the historic Burlington Building (1911).
