Description
Earth 1946
This was created from a photo that my father took of Union Station in Lexington, Kentucky in 1946. The freight train is a C&O train headed for Louisville, Ky. and the passenger train, NO. 260, is coming in from Ellesmere Ky.
The downtown scene is the train side of Union Station. The large red building in the upper right is the Phoenix Hotel. The backside of Kresge Dept. store (which stores became K Mart) is next to the hotel. The street in the back center is Water Street. Every building and some of the streets in this scene are now just a memory. The station was torn down, and the rest of the downtown was completely revamped in the 1970's and 80's.
Union Station was a grand building, with stained glass skylights and served the passengers since opening is 1907. The railroad went through several mergers and ended serving the C&O line and the L&N line.
This art would look go well with either a contemporary home or a more traditional home. This art is well suited for a living room, den, library, bedroom or entrance to home. Nice warm colors depicts this scene of downtown Lexington, Kentucky in 1946. This art would also be nice for office areas and home office areas. Interesting to look at for all the details, colorful and cheerful reminder of the past. The steam train has that mode of transportation have held the hearts of many over the years and has become an American Icon to our past manufacturing ability.

I was born and grew up just outside of Washington DC. I remember my parents driving into the city ... over a huge bridge in what to my little-girl eyes was a couple of very scary places. One was a brick yard ... looked like he!! at night, with the fires inside those little red brick igloo-looking huts!! The other was a bridge that went over an area with a giant tangle of tracks and trains. This surely reminds me of the latter!!! Fantastic repeating lines and angles!!!!! l/f
