Former Union Station - now Federal Courthouse

This lovely building stopped being a train station in the 80's I believe and has been restored as a Federal Courthouse. The window overlooks the freeway and has a wonderful collection of art glass in it. The sculpture on the left is part of the display on the bridge leading to the Museum of Glass is one of the two Crystal Towers - 40 feet high - part of the Dale Chihuly Bridge of glass.

That is a wonderful building, I love the shapes, the dome (I live in a geodesic dome), the arches and the windows - all fantastic. Good shot.
