PHOTOS: The Pennsylvanian

The Pennsylvanian The station, also referred to as Pennsylvania Station and Penn Station was designed by Daniel Burnham and built between 1898 and 1903 with renovations completed in 1954 and 1988. The station is the third building to sit at this location. The first depot was built around 1865 and was burned in the 1877 Pittsburgh railroad riots. A second depot was hastily constructed, lasting until the 1890s when Burnham was hired to design the neo-baroque terracotta and stone building we see today. The station was converted to apartments above, but still serves as the base of operations for Amtrak routes departing from Pittsburgh. Pictured sometime between 1910-1915.
