This page was created and is maintained by Zane Riester. The site opened in June of 1998 and is updated regularly. I was awarded a Watson Fellowship to examine the similarities between 19th century Victorian railroad stations and 17th century Baroque churches in France, Italy and the United Kingdom. Already fascinated with these vast cathedrals of the Industrial Revolution, I soon became obsessed. From the project's inception I wanted to share my observations and discoveries with others.
Stations are buildings for the masses and the internet is the people's medium.
Contributions are very welcome. This site was created by myself using Front Page and personal html skills. Pictures and animations were made with Paint Shop Pro 5. All questions will be answered within a week. The site will hopefully continue to grow and incorporate the United States and the rest of the world.
