The 1888 built Grand Trunk Western Elsdon depot. Chicago Illinois USA. October 1983.

This is the 1888 built two story victorian era Elsdon Depot. This was located on west 51st Street just east of south Lawndale avenue, in the city of Chicago Illinois USA.

This scene looking west was photographed in October of 1983, during it's last week of operation. Sadly...this beautiful wooden depot was demolished the following month. Today it is a vacant lot slated for a new real estate development soon.
