Location

Kedzie was a rapid transit station on the Chicago "L", serving the Garfield Park branch of its Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railroad, from 1895 to 1958. Between 1905 and 1953, it also served the Chicago Aurora and Elgin Railroad (CA&E), an interurban using Garfield Park tracks, between 1905 and 1953.

The station was demolished when it and the branch were replaced by the Congress Line, which contains the Kedzie–Homan station where the old Kedzie station once was.
