Today we took a wonderful “free” art and architecture tour of the beautiful historic Los Angeles Union Train station in DTLA. These are docent led tours.

Los Angeles Union Station was designed by architects John and Donald Parkinson with a blend of Spanish Colonial, Mission Revival, and Art Deco styles. This combined style, sometimes called Mission Moderne, creates a unique aesthetic with features like arched doorways, red-tiled roofs, geometric patterns, marble floors, and brass fixtures. The station, which opened in 1939, is a significant historical landmark and serves as a major transportation hub in Los Angeles.
