Quincy

The Quincy station is a striking fixture of the Chicago transit network, recognizable by its late nineteenth-century exterior featuring pressed metal wreaths and fluted columns. Originally opened in eighteen ninety-seven, it stands as one of the oldest surviving stations on the elevated train system. The architecture reflects the Neoclassical style of the era, designed by Alfred M. Hedley, and the station remains a rare example of the aesthetic that once defined the early Loop.
