Damen/Robey Blue Line Station

If you are here because of "Nashville, IL: L&N Depot," then you need to go there.

the damen blue line station in wicker park was built in 1895 and is the oldest station on the blue line. it was originally called robey station until nearby robey street was renamed damen avenue in 1927 for father arnold damen, a dutch jesuit missionary. this station house was restored to its original look in 2014.
Gavin Rehfeldt: I wish it was wheelchair accessible.
Suzy Kroger: We used to go to The Double Door right across the street! We loved being able to get off and on the EL without having to do a long walk after partying!
