History



Damen Station opened in 1907 as part of Northwestern Elevated Railroad's Ravenswood line. The station was originally named Robey for the original name of the street on which it is located. During CTA's AB-Skip-Stop Service on the Brown Line, from 1949 to 1995, Damen was an "A" station.

The Brown Line Capacity Expansion Project extended the platforms of all Brown Line stations to allow eight car trains and upgraded all Brown Line stations to be accessible to passengers with disabilities. On November 26, 2007, Damen Station closed for twelve months to be rebuilt as part of this project. It retained many of its historic features during reconstruction, however, and reopened on December 19, 2008.
