Paul,
The architect of Richmond,VA Union Station was John Russell Pope, who also
designed the Jefferson Memorial and the National Gallery of Art Building in
Washington,DC. This station, which was also known as Broad Street Station,
was a favorite place for me to visit back in the early 1970's. It is now the
Science Museum of Virginia.
