| Ray,
Brookfield and Congress Park station were two story and similar. I leave it to others to supply details that are tied to the development of this area. The back and forth between the Q and developer is interesting.
The second floor was the agents residence. If you go to the flicker photos on BRHS members site under stations or structures you’ll find dozens of two story depots. Leo Phillipp On Sep 2, 2022, at 9:40 AM, Ray Bedard <tczephyr@hotmail.com> wrote:
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?
