35-Bronzeville-IIT (formerly Tech-35th) is a station on the Chicago Transit Authority's 'L' system, located in the Chicago, Illinois neighborhood of Douglas and serving the Green Line. It is situated at 16 E 35th Street, just east of State Street. It opened on June 6, 1897. Currently, the station serves the historic neighborhood of Bronzeville as well as the Illinois Institute of Technology, and also U.S. Cellular Field, though the Red Line station of Sox-35th is closer. In October of 1962, the then Tech-35th station caught fire. The northbound platform was destroyed, and service between the adjacent Cermak and Indiana stations was suspended for four days. The station operated using temporary platforms until its renovation in 1965.
