History
The older elevated station, later demolished after the new subway station opened
The elevated station was opened in 1895 as part of an extension of the Metropolitan West Side Elevated line. The older Logan Square station was the terminal of the West-Northwest Route (the predecessor to the Blue Line) until 1970 when the line was rerouted and extended via the Kennedy Expressway to Jefferson Park. The elevated station was later demolished after a replacement subway station, also called Logan Square, opened.[2]
