Listed on the National Register of Historic Place, Union Station has served as a landmark in the City of Worcester since 1911. The building, once a major industrial and transportation center, fell into disrepair after passenger service to the hub ended in 1974. Standing vacant for 25 years the building suffered major deterioration from neglect, vandalism and exposure to the elements. The Worcester Redevelopment Authority played a vital role in saving this building through their plans to recreate the station as an important transportation hub. Finegold Alexander completely restored and adapted the building for reuse as an Intermodal Transportation Center, incorporating commuter rail and bus service, travel support facilities, and a 500-car parking facility. The iconic gleaming white towers that had been destroyed were replicated and reinstalled.
