I took this photo last summer, in west suburban Brookfield Illinois. Seen here in a parklike setting on the north side of Brookfield Avenue near the current Brookfield Metra commuter rail station at Brookfield and Prarie Avenues, is the original late 1800's era Grossdale station. This wooden victorian era train station, was Brookfields original train station. Brookfield Illinois was originally an outlying settlement known as Grossdale, located along the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad mainline. ( Now BNSF Railway.)The old station is maintained by a local historical society and features a small indoor museum. There was a small outdoor front lawn flea market going on at the time of My visit that day.
