This original early 20th-century postcard features a charming, color-tinted image of Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri. The postcard showcases the grand Beaux-Arts architectural style of the station, with its imposing stone façade, large arched windows, and classical details. A vibrant flower bed in the foreground and early model automobiles contribute to the historical ambiance of the scene. The card is a White Border type, dating from the era 1915 to 1930, a popular period for collectors appreciating both the printing technique and historical significance.

Printed by Fred Harvey, a well-known publisher associated with American railroad history and hospitality, this postcard is a fine example of a Commercialchrome production, noted for its distinctive color and quality. Measuring the standard size of approximately 5.5 x 3.5 inches, the postcard remains unposted with no writing or postmarks, preserving its collectible value. This piece appeals to enthusiasts of vintage railroad memorabilia, architectural history, and early American travel ephemera.
