Description
-
The 131-year-old doorway stone from the Union Depot is now on display at Union Station. Union Depot was located in the West Bottoms and torn down in 1915 after being replaced by Union Station. The piece, inscribed with "Union Depot 1877," is the only known item left from the building. "Also on display at Union Station is a 35-foot-long drawing on linen dated 1904 for the Union Depot Co. titled 'Alternate Plan No. 4'." The doorway stone was salvaged and found its way to a business at 1010 Kansas Avenue in Kansas City, Kansas. The current business owner donated the stone to Union Station in exchange for a copy.
