120821-0073 - Station under Construction

Panoramic view of Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. The two buildings in the center right are the newly constructed Yokohama Station, a terminal station on Japan’s very first railroad. It was opened on June 12, 1872 (Meiji 5), conveniently dating this image to shortly before that. The station was designed by American architect Richard P. Bridgens (リチャード・ブリジェンス, 1819 -1891).
