Bill Molony commented on his posting The six-car Chicago & Joliet Electric Railway car barn, substation and yard at Archer Avenue and Roberts Road. Bill Molony posted again This is the building that later housed the Landmark Restaurant. [It was built in 1910.] |

"Thanks for the last 44 years! As of December 28, 2014, The Landmark and Marlene's Catering has closed its doors."
The Landmark originally was a Chicago & Joliet railway car barn. In the 1950s, the building became known as Club Elgin, a dime-a-dance hall. Its last use was by a beer distributor before becoming The Landmark in 1970. [ChicagoTribune]This is another example where the Bing street-view vehicle has had better coverage than the Google vehicle. I include a picture of the backside of the car barn because they "prettied up" the side on Archer Avenue.
