Vintage linen-era postcard published by Tichnor Quality Views showing the Union Railway Station in Augusta, Georgia. This striking image captures the impressive Beaux-Arts style architecture of the station with its domed clock tower, red tile roof, and ornate façade.

In the foreground, early 1910s–1920s automobiles line the street, alongside bicycles and well-dressed pedestrians, offering a wonderful snapshot of life and transportation during the golden age of rail travel. The postcard reflects the era when railroads were the primary means of long-distance passenger travel, and grand stations like Augusta’s Union Station served as bustling hubs of commerce and community life.

Union Station in Augusta was built in the early 1900s and served multiple major rail lines, including the Southern Railway and the Atlantic Coast Line, until passenger rail declined in the mid-20th century. Today, postcards like this are among the best surviving views of this once-important landmark.
