Train Station Art

Back in February, I posted a photo of the quote shown in the picture below. I thought that it was a form of public art. When I did some web research, I found out that it was the Metra Station entrance, itself, that was actually the art. It is a replica of a Parisian rail station designed by Hector Guimard.

Van Buren Valentine

I didn't set out looking for a Valentine themed photo for today. I stumbled upon this one, though. While looking up more information about it, I learned that it is the Van Buren Metra Station, where this Stephanie Brooks art quote is located, that is the actual art structure. It is a replica of a Parisian rail station designed by Hector Guimard. I'll have to go back and get a picture of the whole station to share here.
