The Pennsylvania Railroad’s Union Station, Washington, D.C.

The first monumental building constructed under the McMillan Commission Plan was architect Daniel H. Burnham’s Union Station, built between 1905 and 1907. Made of white Vermont granite, the building included three triumphal arches crowned by six allegorical statues and a 220-foot-long waiting room modeled on the Roman Baths of Diocletian. Union Station replaced two railroad stations, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at New Jersey Avenue and C Street, NW, and the Pennsylvania Railroad Station at 6th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW. The newly constructed building resulted from the recommendations of the McMillan Commission of 1901, in which Senator James McMillan established a committee of prominent architects, landscape artists, and sculptors to study ways to improve the city planning of the nation’s capital.
