Greyhound

.





Greyhound Lines, Inc., based in Dallas, Texas, USA, is an intercity common carrier of passengers by bus serving over 3,700 destinations in the United States, Canada and Mexico, operating under the well-known logo of a leaping greyhound. It was founded in Hibbing, Minnesota, USA, in 1914 and incorporated as "Greyhound Corporation" in 1929. Today, it is headquartered at 350 North St. Paul Street in Downtown Dallas, Texas,and under the ownership of British transport firm FirstGroup, which operates Greyhound as an independent subsidiary, and a division of FirstGroup America.

This Sacramento station was supposedly built in the 1930s. However, the exterior looks more like 1940s to me. The interior floor features a terrazzo "running dog". In 2008, it was announced that Greyhound will be moving to a new location. This building may be developed into a hotel.
