1859: Isambard Kingdom Brunel dies

Quote Of The Day
"I am going to design, in a great hurry, and I believe to build after my own fancy; that is, with engineering roofs, etc. etc. It is at Paddington, in cutting, and admitting of no exterior, all interior and all roofed in."
(Isambard Kingdom Brunel)

Paddington Station is indeed very nice. I wonder what Isambard Kingdom Brunel would make of a 21st century train station like Hanshin Koshien? I like it, and I use it almost every day.
