In this first published history of Birmingham's Terminal Station, author Marvin Clemons has gathered extensive documentation and assembled scores of photographs and illustrations as a tribute to the once "great temple of travel." Covering more than a century of history, from the arrival of Birmingham's first railroads in 1870, to the end of rail service in 1979, the book describes the circumstances leading to the formation of Birmingham Terminal Company and the construction of Terminal Station. Details of the building's classic design are given in the words of its noted architect, P. Thornton Mayre, and the station's construction is seen in rare early photographs and vintage post cards.
