Info.
Pueblo Union Depot was constructed in 1889 in the architectural style of Richardsonian Romanesque by the architect Frank V. Newell. Railroads were the links that determined a towns economic development. Pueblos first railroad, the Denver & Rio Grande, ran north to Denver. Next, the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad linked Pueblo to the East. Soon there were five railroads serving Pueblo. Originally, each railroad had its own depot and this was somewhat inconvenient for the traveler. The Pueblo Union Depot was part of a national trend in which one central depot served all of the railroads. The Depot was built by Puebloans Henry Thatcher and Mahlon Thatcher and the following five railroads: The Denver & Rio Grande; Denver, Texas and Fort Worth (later the Colorado and Southern); Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific; Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe; and the Missouri Pacific Railroad. Built of Manitou red sandstone, the Depot cost approximately $400,000 and the contractor was James A. McGonigle.
