Railroads stimulated economic growth and technological innovation for much of the 19th and 20th centuries. In many communities, historic train stations represent more than architectural landmarks—they are vibrant crossroads of community memory and urban potential. When thoughtfully restored, these grand structures transform from forgotten relics into dynamic civic spaces that reconnect neighborhoods and catalyze economic renewal.
Modern preservation techniques can reimagine these spaces as mixed-use destinations, blending transportation functionality with cultural programming, local business incubators, and community gathering areas. By maintaining original architectural details while integrating contemporary amenities, restored train stations become powerful symbols of a city’s ability to honor its past while boldly reimagining its future.
Collaborating with EverGreene opens up new opportunities for restoration and modernization, delivering impressive, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly results.
PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS:
- Stations were called Union Station when multiple railroad companies shared the same location—we worked on five (5).
- Seven (7) stations were designed in the beaux-arts, a prevalent style in the United States between 1880 and 1920.
- We won awards for our work on five (6) stations.
- Ten (10) are on the National Register of Historic Places, and four of those are further designated as National Historic Landmarks.
- Five (6) are adaptive reuse projects—now serving the communities as museums, theaters, offices, and even a cocktail bar.
