Addison is an elevated station on the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) Brown Line featuring two side platforms. It is located at 1818–20 West Addison Street within the North Center area. The station lies between Irving Park, roughly half a mile to the north, and Paulina, about three-eighths of a mile to the southeast.
History
Addison began operation in 1907 as part of the Ravenswood branch of the Northwestern Elevated Railroad, contributing to Chicago’s transit infrastructure for more than 100 years.
Brown Line Capacity Expansion Project
The Brown Line Capacity Expansion Project involved lengthening platforms at every station to accommodate eight-car trains and improving accessibility features. As part of this effort, Addison station was closed on December 2, 2006, for a year-long reconstruction and subsequently reopened on December 3, 2007, coinciding with the temporary closure of Irving Park station for similar upgrades.
