Union Station in Washington, D.C., seen from above, shows the Beaux-Arts terminal in the years just after its completion. The station was built to consolidate several railroad lines that had previously run separate depots around the capital, and its grand train shed and marble concourse were meant to present the city to visitors arriving from across the country. A bird's-eye view like this one captures how the building's long facade and surrounding rail yards fit into the growing city, an effect that ground-level photographs rarely achieved.
