Location

Cicero is a station on the Chicago Transit Authority's 'L' system Green Line, serving the Austin neighborhood on Chicago's West Side. Originally opened on March 3, 1894,[2], its design was made to be simpler than the other Lake Street Elevated stations constructed in the Queen Anne style, such as that of Ashland and Homan (now Conservatory–Central Park Drive), as well as featuring an island platform instead of the 2 side platforms that other Lake Street stations used. Until 1948, the next station eastbound was Kostner, which was designed in a similar style to Cicero, lacking both the ornate station houses and with a single island platform instead of twin platforms.
