Our LA Conservancy tour this year was to Union Station. Union Station was the last of the great railway stations, built in the late '30s. A few of us rode the train down, and visited nearby Olvera Street, which is across the street. Lots of great photos that day.

 |
| Inside, the station is all original |
 |
| That ceiling is prefabbed concrete, for stability in earthquakes. But looks like wood. |

| Looking toward downtown |
 |
| The tour guide told us these grapevines on Olvera St date to the 1850's |
 |
| Inside, the station has a lot of art. This mural depicts California history. |
