| 説明 | Built in 1922 in the Classical Revival style, the old Covington Train Station replaced an earlier wood-frame structure located in the vicinity of the intersection of 8th Street and Russell Street, approximately one block to the north.The building features a red tile roof, large glass and metal canopy over the front door, four ionic-style white terra cotta pilasters, and white terra-cotta trim. In front of the building, the brick-paved Harvey Court, once used to load and unload passengers, has been remarkably well-preserved, though it has since been cut off from its original connection to the intersection at nearby Pike Street.Inside, the building features a large passenger waiting hall in the center with three tall arched bays on either side, allowing in ample natural light, and two wings to the north and south of this space, which housed offices and a waiting room for people of color.To the rear, the building is adjacent to the concrete railroad viaduct built between 1927 and 1929, which features a passenger concourse under the tracks, which is presently in a state of partial dilapidation after a long period of disuse and lack of proper maintenance.The building served as the local passenger train depot until the late 1960s, upon which passenger service ceased in Covington due to declining ridership. The building sat abandoned until the 1980s, by which point it was in an advanced state of deterioration. The building was saved from demolition, and adaptively reused as a multi-tenant office building known as Covington Station.The building was once neighbored by several other structures to the south along Russell Street and Harvey Court, including the four-story Greek Revival-style Elliston House Hotel, and several Italianate and Greek Revival-style brick townhouses, which were abandoned and demolished in the 1980s, during the zenith of the city's decline. |
