The Randolph-Wabash station is one of the oldest L stations in Chicago. It opened on 08 Nov 1896 for the Lake Street Elevated Railroad which later became part of the Chicago Transit Authority. It was remodeled in the 1950s. It is scheduled to be torn down.

The station was used in the 1987 movie “Adventures in Babysitting” and 1995’s “While You Were Sleeping.”
