Chicago, IL: Original Garfield "L" Station, the oldest extant station in Chicago, if not the USA

(Satellite, the station is under the tracks)

Street View, Jun 2022

Original Chicago posted two photos with the comment: "Hidden in Washington Park on the South Side is a small Victorian building that is the oldest standing public transit structure in Chicago, and probably in the United States. It was built to connect downtown with the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Jackson Park. This original Garfield Green Line ‘L’ station house was closed in 2001 and a replacement built across the street. In 2019, it was renovated, the University of Chicago opened a business accelerator in the space."
