Union Depot hosts five large-scale art installations and five “human-scale” installations. The large-scale installations address themes of history and transportation. The human-scale artworks, all created by Minnesota artists, generate focal points and surprise visitors with unique representations.
Skylights in the Waiting Room were once blackened with tar to protect WWII troops being deployed through Union Depot from potential air attacks. Minnesota’s young men and women left from here to go to war. Troops from Fort Snelling departed from Union Depot to serve during World War II.
Construction began in 1917 and took 8 years to complete. The ceiling in the Concourse is Guastavino vault style. This architectural style is very structurally sound, incorporating several layers of tiles in a herringbone pattern, an excellent choice for the heavy vibrations of a train station.
