123 Rosenberg St
Galveston, TX 77550
The Santa Fe Union Station Historical Marker, located at 123 Rosenberg in Galveston, Texas, commemorates the historical significance of the building, which was constructed in 1913 as a central passenger station for the city's railway system. Notably, the structure underwent expansions in 1932, adding an 11-story tower and an 8-story north wing, showcasing elements of the Art Deco style.
This site was recognized as a Texas Historic Landmark in 1983 and served as the hub for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad's Gulf lines until the closure of the Galveston office in 1964, marking the end of passenger train services three years later. Today, it stands as a testament to the rich railroad history of Galveston.
