Union Station, LoDo

Downtown Denver's Union Station, seen at the west end of Seventeenth Street in this photo, once anchored a huge industrial rail network. In 2014 it reopened after a multi-year renovation project as a passenger transit hub. It now houses the Crawford Hotel (named for historic preservationist Dana Crawford), a nostalgic common sitting area, shops, and links to Denver's light rail system, Amtrak, and buses.
