Union Depot in 2009
The picture shows the Union Depot in 2009. It was built in 1905-1906 in a classical revival style by Daniel Burnham. In order to build the station, six American railroad companies and the National Railway of Mexico pooled their resources, thus making El Paso the first international station in the United States, with service to and from Mexico. The depot’s original red bricks were painted white during the 1940s. The original red exterior returned in the early 1980s during an extensive restoration project.
