[edit] History
Rosemont station opened on February 27, 1983, as the terminus of an extension of the Blue Line from its former terminal at Jefferson Park[1]. It was built to a design by the architectural firm Murphy/Jahn. A year later, the terminal at O'Hare Airport was finished and the line was extended.
[edit] Facilities
Rosemont station is the terminus to many Pace bus routes. In addition, there is a parking lot for commuters that costs $3 US for 18 hours of allowed time. Plus, due to the many hotels nearby, a visitors pass machine is also found in the station. Just west of the station is a maintenance facility built in a wide spot of the freeway's median.
[edit] Trivia
This station, along with Irving Park, are the only stations in the CTA system that are situated in the median of an expressway that have their station houses below the platform.
