Waterbury Union Station, located at 389 Meadow Street in Waterbury, Connecticut, is a brick railway station designed by the prominent New York City firm McKim, Mead & White for the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in the early 20th century. Its most distinctive feature is a tall clock tower built by the Seth Thomas Company, which has become the city's most recognizable landmark. At its peak, the station handled 66 passenger trains daily, reflecting its importance as a major transportation hub. As rail service declined through the later twentieth century, the building's passenger operations ceased, though it has since found new purpose as offices for the Republican-American newspaper. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the station exemplifies the grandeur of Gilded Age transportation architecture.
