Union Station, Tacoma, Washington (1910)

Tacoma’s Union Station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is unique in its use as both a federal courthouse and a rental venue for events. The Beaux Arts dome is today highlighted by a 20-foot chandelier created by renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly.

Building materials for the model include willow, seagrape leaves, sisal, salt cedar, birch twigs, cinnamon and cloves.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

*****

We went to the United States Botanic Garden’s Season’s Greenings exhibit titled “All Aboard,” which showcases historic train stations from around the country made almost entirely from plant materials.
