Abstract
ON arriving in Frankfort one finds oneself in a lofty, palatial railway station, compared with which King's Cross looks mean and Victoria Station is a shanty. This new terminus at Frankfort is not, as with us, an hotel with trains whistling and shunting in the back premises; it is essentially a railway station, standing proudly alone at the western extremity of the town. And the practical Englishman is as much impressed by the completeness of its internal arrangements as by the anti-Ruskin lesson it teaches, that architectural skill when fitly applied to a railway station can produce as noble an edifice as when bestowed on a temple.
