Limited Edition print is pencil numbered 580/630, of an architectural elevation and sections of Cincinnati Union Passenger Train Terminal Improvements in 1931 framed behind glass. New York architects Alfred Fellheimer and Steward Wagner were chosen to design the new station and they in turn hired Paul Cret from Philadelphia to assist their designer, Roland Wank, to work out the proposed design. The initial proposal had called for a classical structure, which was very costly and by that time, fairly out of style. Cret and Wank were tasked to bring the design into the modern style, what we now call Art Deco. 29”W x 28”H. The limited edition print series was produced by the Miami Purchase Preservation Fund to benefit residents of the West End in Cincinnati Oh.
