Union Terminal opened in 1933. It served as an intercity train station located in the Queensgate neighborhood of Cincinnati. Like many buildings of that era it was designed in an Art Deco style by the architectural firm, Fellheimer & Wagner, with much of the credit for its final appearance going to Paul Philippe Cret. Today it serves as the home of the Cincinnati Museum Center, and Amtrak, which runs trains through Cincinnati three days a week from Chicago and New York. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977.
