Halsted station (CTA Green Line Lake branch)

Halsted was a station on the Chicago Transit Authority's Green Line in the Near West Side neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Halsted opened on November 6, 1893,[1] and closed on January 9, 1994, when the entire Green Line closed for a renovation project. The station did not reopen with the rest of the Green Line on May 12, 1996, due to service cuts, and the station was demolished shortly after the Green Line reopened.
