Notes
  • Significance: Atlantic City Union Station is significant as an expression of corporate architecture from the second quarter of the 20th century. Its classic facade, art deco detailing, and substantial presence were intended to represent both the permanence and forward-lookingness of the newly formed Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines, provide public reassurance at a time of a great economic distress, and give Atlantic City a transportation terminal which could be considered worthy of its important as a growing city. Its construction, demolition of the previous stations and resultant improvement of traffic circulation were considered a great boon to the whole city.
  • Survey number: HABS NJ-1218
