King Street Station was completed in 1906 for James J. Hill and his Great Northern Railroad. The depot and its vast freight yards were built on reclaimed tide flats beside a newly developing warehouse and industrial district near Pioneer Square. Designed by the St. Paul firm of Reed and Stem, the depot’s modest Neo-classical style stands in dramatic contrast to its 245-foot clock tower, modeled after the campanile of the Piazza San Marco in Venice.
