Description:
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.
