CTA Train Station-Clark & Lake-Loop Elev

Ashland Lake station, located at 1601 W. Lake Street in Chicago, is a historic station established on November 6, 1893, as part of the Lake Street Elevated Railroad. Designed in a unique Queen Anne style with Victorian Gothic influences, the station features twin station houses and side platforms for inbound and outbound trains.

The station has undergone several modifications since its inception, including renovations in the 1990s that consolidated fare collection. Despite changes in service patterns and ridership over the years, Ashland Lake remains an in-use transit hub, showcasing architectural elements that harken back to its late 19th-century origins.
