Interior of Northwestern Station Concourse Building. January 1984.

This photograph taken in January of 1984, is yet a last look at another Chicago Landmark that eventually met the Wrecking Ball. This is the lobby in the old Northwestern Station concourse building. This would be demolished a few months
after this photographed was taken. Northwestern Station was located in Downtown Chicago Illinois on Madison street between Canal and Clinton Streets. The Commuter trains still operate out of a new glass skyscraper facility now known as the Richard B. Ogilvie Transportation center. At the time of this photo...Chicago's Commuter Trains were operated by RTA. A few years later, the RTA would later change the name of its mainline commuter train division to todays -METRA system.
