Hi Elizabeth: The architect for Union Station was German trained Theodore C. Link. Don't know how much local 'brick' was used. "The Market & 18th street facades were built using gray Indiana limestone masonry. The west & south walls were gray brick above and buff brick below the roof of the train shed and the roof was covered with gray Spanish tile."
