Denver Union Station stands at 17th and Wynkoop Streets in LoDo. The first station of 1881 was designed by A. Taylor. Van Brunt & Howe replaced the central part after a fire in 1894, and Gove & Walsh built the present central section in 1914 in Beaux-Arts style. The Romanesque Revival wings use rusticated stone. It joined the National Register of Historic Places on November 20, 1974.
The Regional Transportation District bought the station in 2001. Hargreaves Associates and Skidmore, Owings and Merrill designed public spaces. The historic building closed for renovation on December 1, 2012, and reopened on July 26, 2014. The Great Hall is 12,000 square feet. The Crawford Hotel has 112 rooms, and a bus concourse has 22 gates.
Amtrak, light rail and commuter rail serve it, and the A Line began in 2016.
