This is the east end of the building; it looks like a depot.
This is the west end; it looks like a freight house. It has the typical two-story office building on one end of a one-story freight handling part.

The art-deco style New York Central station and nearby (and very large) freighthouse at Erie, Pennsylvania. Amtrak's "Lake Shore Limited" stops here once a day east and west bound. The station was saved and restored by a local architect whose company occupies the top floors while Amtrak, a coffee shop and a microbrewery.
The freighthouse is (I believe) only partly occupied and would be a great candidate for adaptive redevelopment.
Lance Erickson: Bessemer and Lake Erie had a small station too nearby.

Both ends of the building have a "Union Station" sign, but who used it besides NYC? Did Pennsy have trackage rights to the station? Bessemer & Lake Erie had tracks north of this station, and the NKP had tracks south of it.
