Chicago Union Station
Historic Site · Chicago, Illinois
The last of the great Chicago railway terminals, opened in 1925 to a plan begun by Daniel Burnham and finished by his successor firm. Its Great Hall is a Beaux-Arts waiting room a hundred and ten feet high under a barrel-vaulted skylight, and the marble staircase below it is where the pram goes down the steps in The Untouchables. It is a working station handling Amtrak's national network and Chicago's commuter lines, and walking into it costs nothing.
225 South Canal Street, Chicago, Illinois, 60606, United States
A working station, open around the clock, free to enter. Great Hall best seen mid-morning to early afternoon; it occasionally closes for private events.
