Damen station (CTA Pink Line)

Damen is a station on the Pink Line of the Chicago Transit Authority, located in Chicago's Pilsen district.

History

The station was originally inaugurated in 1896 as part of the Douglas Park branch of the Metropolitan West Side Elevated. Initially, its primary entrance was situated on Hoyne Avenue. However, during the 2003 reconstruction of the Douglas branch, the main access point was relocated to Damen Avenue to enhance connections with CTA route 50 Damen. Subsequently, the station adopted the name "Damen," while the Hoyne Avenue entrance was designated as a secondary access.
