Union Station is a mural in the Short North and Italian Village neighborhoods in Columbus, Ohio. Created by Gregory Ackers, it covers a portion of the north wall of Blick (formerly Utrecht) Art Supplies at 612 N. High St. and depicts the historic Union Station. It was created in 1987 – a decade after the station's demolition.
It was located across a parking lot of another well-known Ackers-created mural, Trains.[1] By 2012, the mural was deteriorating, with chipping paint leading to large sections of the mural being lost. The other mural was noted to be in decent shape, however.[2] Around 2014, the hotel Le Méridien Columbus, The Joseph was built on the space that served as a parking lot and both murals can no longer be seen.[3]
