New London Union Station, located in downtown New London, Connecticut, is a three-story brick railroad station erected in 1887 as a union facility following the 1885 fire that destroyed an earlier station. Designed by the renowned architect H. H. Richardson in what biographer Henry-Russell Hitchcock considered his best work, it was the last and largest station Richardson designed. Today the station serves as a regional transportation hub on the Northeast Corridor, accommodating Amtrak Northeast Regional trains and CT Rail Shore Line East commuter service, with connections to local and intercity buses and ferries to nearby islands. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 following Amtrak's assumption of service, the station underwent pioneering adaptive reuse restoration beginning in 1975 under architect George M. Notter, making it the first station restored for Amtrak use and an early example of industrial-age building preservation in New England.
