Sedgwick

Sedgwick is an 'L' station on the CTA's Brown Line, Purple Line Express trains also stop at the station during weekday rush hours. It is an elevated station with two side platforms, located in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood of the Near North Side community area. The adjacent stations are Armitage, which is located about to the northwest, and Chicago, located about to the south. History The station was put into service in 1900 as part of Northwestern Elevated Railroad's initial route, and it is one of the oldest standing stations on the 'L'. In 1979, a portion of The Hunter starring Steve McQueen was shot at Sedgwick as part of an action scene. During 2007, the main station entrance was closed for extensive renovation and rebuilding as part of the CTA's Brown Line capacity expansion project. Throughout the renovation period, the station remained open on weekdays but experienced several weekend closures, with entrance to the station through a temporary entrance (which was later converted to an emergency exit) located one block west of the original entrance at Hudson Avenue.
