Union Station, now part of the Minute Maid Park complex, was once Houston’s major passenger rail terminal, built in 1911. Its Beaux-Arts architecture and grand interior reflected Houston’s ambitions as a transportation hub. Although repurposed for modern use, the original structure has been preserved and integrated into the ballpark, giving visitors a unique blend of sports and history in downtown Houston.
