Fratinardo said this station has more retail space than most, as it was originally designed to serve two different railroads — the Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad, which stopped operations in 1963, and the Northwestern Elevated, which became part of the CTA. Fratinardo called it one of the most unique structures in Uptown, and she said the restoration, along with the movement of the tracks further back from the parapet, will help people rediscover it.
