Description: Chicago and Northwestern Depot in Wilmette (1873). The first railroad station in Wilmette was built on this line in 1871. It burned down a year later, ten citizens donated money to build this fireproof station in its place. By the 1890s, commuter demand had exceeded this station's capacity, and a new passenger station was built. This station then became Wilmette's freight depot. Freight service ended in 1946. The station was moved away from the railroad tracks in 1974 to avoid demolition.
