Union Station: Behind the Scenes
SAH/SCC On-Site Tour, DTLA
Friday, January 19, 2024
SAH/SCC
Life and Patron Members will join us for a very special, behind-the-scenes tour
of Union Station from longtime SAH/SCC member George Meyer, Vice President/General
Manager at Morlin Asset Management, the property and project management firm for
the complex. Union Station (Parkinson and Parkinson, 1939) is nationally recognized
as the last major train station built in the 20th century, is LA
Historic-Cultural Monument #101, and has won numerous preservation awards.
Commissioned as a joint venture by Southern
Pacific, Union Pacific, and the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe railroads, Union
Station consolidated rail service from three prior Los Angeles train stations. During
World War II, the station was the gateway for servicemen making their way to the
Pacific coast. An icon of Los Angeles, it has appeared in many films and television
shows.
Meyer has held property management positions
in Los Angeles, Orange County, Silicon Valley, and San Francisco. He oversaw the
restoration of the Russ Building (George W. Kelham, 1927) in San Francisco’s Financial
District—a 32-story neo-Gothic tower. Meyer will be joined by Dyana Elam, Director
of Projects at Morlin, who will be able to answer questions about the decade-long
restoration efforts at the station.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to tour
Union Station with insiders! Plus, you can visit the exhibition “Where You Stand:
Chinatown 1880-1939.” And why not cap the experience with lunch at Traxx restaurant
in the station right after the tour?
Attendees are strongly encouraged to
access the station via public transportation (Red Line, Gold Line, Amtrak, Metrolink,
Uber, Lyft, etc.). To become a Life or Patron Member, see the form on Page 6 or
