It was built to serve as a connection point to the Chicago and North Western Railway via their adjacent Ravenswood–Wilson station. Ravenswood was situated east of Damen and north of Montrose. The station closed on August 1, 1949, along with 22 other stations as part of a CTA service revision.[2][3]
