[CBQ] Suburban Commuter Stations

["Ray Bedard" <tczephyr@hotmail.com>]

I grew up in Berwyn and rode the Q a lot to CSU and often west to Brookfield, LaGrange, Hinsdale, etc. Recently, I came across a photo of the Hollywood Station and it made me wonder about the design. The stations on the race track between Aurora and CSU looked like a typical suburban station. But Hollywood looked more like someone's 2 story home. Why 2 stories? Why did the Q build it as a 2 story home rather than a typical station, such as Berwyn, or Riverside or LaGrange, etc? 

What's the history behind the Hollywood station; what year was it built, was a station agent assigned to it and if so what years, what was the purpose of the 2nd floor?
