The Indianapolis Union Station was the first union station in the world, opening on September 20, 1853, by the Indianapolis Union Railway within the Wholesale District of Indianapolis, Indiana. A bigger station was constructed in 1888. In 1900 over 200 trains a day were serviced, forcing the station to have an elevated station so as not to interfere with regular street traffic. Its architectural style was (Richardsonian) Romanesque Revival, made of granite and brick. It had a large street-level iron trainshed. It was second only to Chicago's Union Station as a Midwest railroad hub. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 14, 1982.
In 1979 the facility was converted from railroad station to festival marketplace by Woollen Molzan and Partners, opening in 1984. It had stores such as an NBC store and model train store. The third floor featured one of the first food courts. Throughout the facility there were several statues of individuals who might have been seen in the railroad station in older years. In 1997 the mall era closed as Circle Centre drew off all the customers Union Station had. Source wikipedia
