ʻO ka Train Shed ka nui loa i kākoʻo ʻole ʻia ma ʻAmelika, a hiki i 10 mau kaʻaahi piha i ka manawa hoʻokahi

Ua hoʻolālā ʻo Architect Richard Montfort (1854-1931) i ka Nashville Union Station no ka Louisville & Nashville Railroad. He mea kūikawā maoli ke kahua monumental no kēia mau ʻano:

Hoʻolālā pōhaku kaumaha Richardsonian-Romanesque
