Like the rest of the Milwaukee-Dearborn subway (excluding Clinton), the station opened on February 25, 1951, following construction delays caused by
World War II. This station was renovated from 2005 to 2007, to resemble the
Jackson station in the
State Street subway, a pedestrian tunnel connects these two stations, allowing for a free transfer to the
Red Line. Farecard transfers to the station are also available at this station for the
Brown,
Orange,
Pink, and
Purple Lines. This is the southernmost of the three stations on one long continuous platform underneath Dearborn Street, with the stops at Monroe and Washington being the other two. It is currently one of only two stations in the Milwaukee-Dearborn subway that is accessible, the other being Clark/Lake. ==Bus connections==
