History

Irving Park prior to reconstruction, September 2005

Irving Park station opened in 1907 as part of the Northwestern Elevated Railroad's Ravenswood line.[1] In CTA's skip-stop service on the Brown Line, instituted in 1949, Irving Park was an "AB" station.[3]

In 2006, the CTA began the Brown Line Capacity Expansion Project, which involved the renovation and reconstruction of Brown Line stations to allow eight car trains to run on the line and make them accessible to passengers with disabilities. Irving Park station closed between December 3, 2007, and December 6, 2008, and was completely rebuilt.[4]
