Inside Chicago's 1911 built NorthWestern Station. ( Gone.) January 1984.
I took this photo in downtown Chicago Illinois, at the former site of NorthWestern Station on West Madison Street on the western outskirts of downtown Chicago Illinois.
The old 1911 built train station was in it's last months of operation as NorthWestern Station, and the old concourse building would be demolished during the summer months of 1984. The main building was replaced with a tall glass skyscraper office building originally known as the NorthWestern Atrium Center. After the merger and acquisition of the Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad by the Union Pacific in 1998, the building was renamed to The Richard B. Ogilvie Transportation center.
