The Wellston Station in St. Louis was constructed by the United Railway company in 1901. Located on a transfer point between major streetcar lines, the station was the largest waiting station in the city and the only one still standing. The station served the Wellston Loop, which by 1940 had become one of the busiest streetcar transfer points in the country. The station was also the termination point for the city's last streetcar line. The station was nominated for its architectural significance as well as its role in the transformation of the St. Louis mass transit system. More is here:

Wellston Loop was part of my daily life from birth until I left St. Louis in 1964. Numerous streetcar and bus lines looped there; the Hodiamont and City Limits streetcars ran on private right-of-way at the west edge. My father was a streetcar driver! St. Charles line which went all the way to St. Charles looped there, too. A Katz Drug Store, formerly Nugent's Department Store, anchored the loop and Wellston bustled block after block with every kind of business imaginable, theaters, eateries.
