Photo of the original Shimbashi Station built in 1872 as the starting terminal of Japan's first railway that went to Yokohama. It was designed by American architect R.P. Bridgens (1819–91) at a time when Western-style buildings were rare in Japan. Shimbashi Station served as a passenger train terminal until 1914 when Tokyo Station opened and took over as the terminal station.Jul 18, 2017
