Broad Street Station (Richmond)

The Science Museum of Virginia currently inhabits the old Broad Street Station building

Broad Street Station (also known as Union Station) was a Union railroad station in Richmond, Virginia across Broad Street from the Fan district. It was built by the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad (RF&P) in 1917 in the neoclassical style by the architect John Russell Pope. The station also served the trains of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad (ACL), the Norfolk and Western Railway (N&W), and eventually the Seaboard Air Line Railway (SAL). Passenger service to the station ceased in 1975. The station became the home of the Science Museum of Virginia, which remains in the substantially remodeled and expanded building.
