The L&N Train Station was built in 1912 when the L&N Railroad line established the third railroad reaching Tuscaloosa. Passengers were greeted by the station's beautiful marble adorned walls, decorative plaster scrollwork and a grand domed ceiling. The station served Tuscaloosa as the L&N passenger station from 1912 through the 1940's, and then as the Trailways bus station between 1950 and 1967. In the late 1960's, the L&N Train Station fell into disrepair with parts of it being sold as scrap, stolen or even vandalized. In 1978, a group of investors came to the station's rescue. The L&N Station was renovated and has been used over the years as a restaurant and event facility. Today the station is available for rent as an event venue and continues to serve the Tuscaloosa community.
