#9 Ogden Union Station

The railroad first came to Ogden in 1869 as part of the historic Transcontinental Railroad. They originally built a wooden structure to serve as the station but it was soon too small to suffice the needs of the city. The first brick and mortar station was built in 1889 but burned down in 1923. This current building was built in 1924 and incorporates a Spanish Colonial Revival Style.

The building now houses a couple different museums. One is the Utah State Railroad Museum, a firearm museum, and a classic car museum.
