Depot, Lemont , Cook County, Illinois

Taken circa 1968, this picture is looking southwest from under what is now the State Street bridge. Built in the late 1850's, the station was the first in Lemont and was a stop on the the Chicago and Alton Railroad line which ran from Chicago to Alton, Illinois just upriver from St. Louis, MO. It is still in use today as a commuter rail station and houses the Lemont Chamber of Commerce.
