  17. Union Pacific Railroad Depot (2)
  18. Union Pacific Railroad Depot, 402 N. Second St. (two blocks north of the Massachusetts St. bridge over the Kansas River). This vintage photograph taken by E.S. Tucker shows the North Lawrence depot about 1895. Passenger service here and at the Santa Fe Depot linked Lawrence to Denver, Kansas City, and beyond. This made Lawrence more cosmopolitan than small Kansas towns not on the train routes. The train ran to Denver and points further west. The railroad had a ticket office in the Eldridge House, in the 700 block of Massachusetts St. The Union Pacific was first known as the Kansas Pacific and was Lawrence's first railroad, dating from 1864 (Tucker). One of the first branches went to the city of Leavenworth, about forty miles northeast, where Hughes's grandfather Charles Langston lived from 1863 to 1868. (1)
  19. Union Pacific Railroad Depot, now the Lawrence Information Visitor Center, 402 N. Second St. (two blocks north of the Massachusetts St. bridge over the Kansas River). (1889). This depot, built in 1889, was the place where soldiers departed during World War I and World War II. Langston Hughes and his family would have seen this building in their daily lives and may have used this depot for trips to Topeka and Kansas City. Freight trains still roll through the station but do not stop here. Today the restored building serves the Lawrence area as an information center, where historic pamphlets and walking tour information are available. When the Union Pacific closed the station in 1984, the company planned to demolish it. Community donations and grants were used to renovate the building. It re-opened in 1996. The Lawrence Preservation Alliance and other community initiatives preserve some of Langston Hughes's Lawrence to this day. (1)
