Au Revior - a photo on Flickriver

Au Revior

            The Grant Park entrance to the Metra Electric and South Shore line’s Van Buren station has had an added touch of Paris for the past two decades.

This Art Nouveau beauty was installed in 2003.  It was a gift from Paris, one of Chicago's sister cities.  It was a reproduction of the Paris Metro station entrances, designed by French architect Hector Guimard  in 1900.

The demolition fence around it indicates its demise.  It is being removed because Metra is renovating the Van Buren Station and an accessible entrance needs to be installed here.
