Here is a link to the agenda of the Village of Downers Grove Architectural
Design Review Board meeting to discuss designating the Fairview Ave depot a
historical building. If you scroll down a fair distance (unfortunately it does
not have page numbers) there’s a rather haphazard, but interesting collection
of articles and photos of the depot gleaned from local sources. The
reproduction is poor, they’re just photocopies, but there are a number of
interesting historical views of the depot and station area, including a few of
the depot that stood before 1916. Of interest to me was a 1977 article about a
woman station agent (and her cat!) who lived in the building.

Meeting is at the Village Hall on 2/15/17 at 7 p.m. if you are interested.
Thank you kindly,
