This is a recreation the historic Union Station railway station in Denver, Colorado which was completed in 1914.

The present-day Union Station Terminal Building consists mainly of two lower wing buildings flanking a larger central mass built during different parts of the station's history. It was completed in 1914. The first building, which burned down in 1894, was first opened on the site on June 1, 1881.

The wing buildings were built with the first 1881 structure in a Romanesque Revival style, featuring tall, narrow windows, rusticated stonework and motifs of Colorado's state flower, the columbine. When the station was gutted by the 1894 fire, the facades of the wing buildings were incorporated into the 1894 depot and the 1914 renovation.

Designed by Hargreaves Associates and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in 2012, the open-air Train Hall was conceived as an efficient and formally expressive means of sheltering multiple railway tracks. Its primary structural system comprises 11 steel “arch trusses” spanning nearly 54 meters, clad in tensioned PTFE fabric. In profile, the canopy rises 21 meters at either end and descends in a dynamic sweep to 6 meters at the centre, a gesture that allows the structure to protect the passenger platforms below, while remaining clear of the view corridor established to protect views of the Terminal Building.

In 2012, the station underwent a major renovation transforming it into the centrepiece of a new transit-oriented mixed-use development built on the site's former railyards. The historic station house reopened in the summer of 2014, hosting the 112-room Crawford Hotel, restaurants and retailers.

As an inter-modal transportation hub, Denver Union Station consists of the historic terminal building and, on the site's former rail yards, an open-air train hall, a 22-gate underground bus terminal, and a light rail station. The Train Hall stands immediately behind the historic building and houses tracks for Amtrak and the commuter rail lines.

This asset exclusively uses Armesto's Spotlight Props Pack for its lighting. If you don't subscribe to it everything will be dark.

If you want to remove the 'Union Station' signage and front stone engraving all you have to do is rename the plopped building in game. To get them back just delete the custom name.

I've tried to make this asset as realistic as possible and therefore the geometry tri count is high and the textures large. The model has been optimised as much as possible without compromising the structure and detail of the original building. All of the texture elements have been created specifically for this asset in order for full control over the final look.

Please try this asset out and if there are any problems let me know in the comments below.
