Union Station was dedicated in 1911 and served as the main train hub for the city of Houston.  It is listed on the National register of historic places.  When the Astros were ready to move out of the Astrodome, the lot behind this building was selected as its replacement.  Instead of demolishing it or building around it, they decided to use the building.  Minute Maid Park now uses the building as its main entrance.  Every home game, thousands of people walk through her historic lobby.

I always enjoy when a city embraces its history instead of wiping it out for something better.  It doesn’t matter how many times I have been, I always enjoy seeing the building.
