The Beaux-Arts style Union Station was constructed in 1911-12 and was actually Regina's third train station; the first is now a museum in Broadview, Saskatchewan.
The station was completed the same year the deadly "Regina Cyclone" struck the city, tearing through Wascana Park and gutting part of the downtown area.
 The building underwent a major expansion in 1931, and the original façade was redone in a simpler Art Deco style with Tyndall stone.
As well, terrazzo floors, marble support columns and plaster molded ceilings where added to the interior.

In the early 1990s, cutbacks to rail services throughout Canada lead to the closure of Regina's Union Station.
 The Station had been an important part of Regina's history and heritage since its opening in 1912.
After the station's closure, its fate remained unknown for several years.
Union Station was designated as an official heritage site in 1991.

By 1995, a $37 million construction project began to convert the vacant station into the province's second casino.
In 1996, Casino Regina opened.
