That was an impressive structure for 1876. In 1930, it was replaced by Union Terminal.

I saw a map that labeled the location of the long, skinny rectangle that is west of 3rd Street and below the NS/NYC/LS&MS tracks as Union Sta. (Unfortunately, I can't remember where I saw that map.) It seems to be the union of two NYC railroads, (LS&MS and Big Four). The Big Four used the track that curves south and crosses the river down by Carter Road. Did Pennsy also use this station? (Update: yes. In fact they continued to use it after the Cleveland Union Terminal was built. [case])

In addition to the NYC/LS&MS and B&O #464 Bridges, this photo shows the Union Station.

B&O and Erie had their own stations south of Detroit Avenue.

| Thomas Wentzel posted Cleveland Ohio 1928 looking north and east towards Cleveland Union Terminal Tower. Two other train sheds are showing. The one on the left is at the Erie RR passenger station. The other at center-right is a two-level shed at B&O passenger station. |
I found confirmation of the Union Station location and that the other long skinny rectangle further west was the Union Freight Depot. (Back in 1896, 3rd Street was named Seneca.)

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Jim's share Thanks for the identification. This 1876 station was west of 3rd Street between the NYC/LSMS+Big Four tracks and the Pennsy tracks. It is now a parking lot: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5022553,-81.7021068,446m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu 1953 Cleveland North and South Quadrangles @ 1:24,000 |
