History
Damen station opened in 1896 as part of the
Metropolitan West Side Elevated's Douglas Park branch. At the time the entrance was on Hoyne Avenue. Like the
Kostner station to the west, during reconstruction of the Douglas branch in 2003, Damen Avenue (the block east of Hoyne) was made the site of the main entrance for better connection with the CTA route 50 Damen. At this time the name of the station was changed to "Damen" and Hoyne became an auxiliary entrance.
