North Train Station in Bucharest. The North Train Station in Bucharest is found in the project contracted with the H. B. Strousberg Company, starting in 1868, when Carol I laid the foundation stone of the construction. The land on which the station was built under the name of Târgoviștei Train Station belonged to Zoe Racoviță, granddaughter of the nobleman Dinicu Golescu and wife of Effingham Grant (brother of Maria Rosetti, the “Revolutionary Romania” of the painter Rosenthal).
