While Historic Joplin is currently at work on a post about the Union Depot’s history, we took the opportunity to visit the beautiful building last week. Below are some photographs (but not all) of the building designed by Louis Curtiss, an architect of Kansas City. There would be no folly greater than to allow this treasure to be loss for lack of a will to take action to restore it.
