[edit] History
Chicago Station opened, along with the rest of the State Street Subway, in 1943[2]. It was identical in design to Grand Station to the south. In 2001 the station was extensively renovated, including the addition of elevators to meet the accessibility requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
