The old 1911 era Northwestern Station in Chicago Illinois.

Hello everybody.
Welcome to another edition of Eddie's Railfan Page. In todays installment, we will visit and pay tribute to another fallen Chicago Landmark, the old Northwestern Station in downtown Chicago Illinois during it's final months in existance. The photograph seen here was taken in june of 1983. We are looking northwest from Madison street.
Northwestern Station was located in the west end of Chicago's downtown section on Madison Street between Canal and Clinton Streets. The old and very artistic concourse building was demolished in the spring and summer of 1984.

I remember that station since I work near by that station and quite often went there for lunch,It was a shame they tore it down, but I do have a chunk of marble scrap from the station as a momento. They sold off everything in the station to collectors and the curious.
