Union Depot Sign
-
Description
-
A dedication ceremony was held on May 8, 2008, at Union Station for the Union Depot sign. The Union Depot, located in the West Bottoms, opened in April 1878. "The stone was placed directly above the main entrance to the depot, and stood 125 feet high. The Union Depot closed in 1914 and was demolished a year later." After demolition, the sign, which is the only known surviving artifact from the depot, was moved to Kansas City, Kansas. Includes image.
