Damen is a Chicago "L" station that is planned to open on the Green Line. There was formerly a station at the same location from 1893 to 1948.

Madison was a rapid transit station on the Chicago "L"'s Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railroad, serving its Logan Square branch from 1895 to 1951. The station was typical of those constructed by the Metropolitan, with a Queen Anne station house and two wooden side platforms adjacent to the tracks. For much of its existence, Madison served the nearby sports arena Chicago Stadium. The Metropolitan was one of four founding companies of the "L", and the first of its lines to be powered by electricity. The "L"'s companies merged operations under Chicago Elevated Railways (CER) in 1911 and formally merged into the Chicago Rapid Transit Company (CRT) in 1924. Private ownership of the "L" ended in 1947 when the public Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) assumed operations. Plans to replace the Logan Square branch whereupon Madison lay with a subway to provide a more direct connection to downtown had dated to the late 1930s, and the CTA opened the Milwaukee-Dearborn subway on February 25, 1951, closing Madison and its adjacent stations in the process, although Madison's tracks and station house remained standing. The station house continued in use as a commercial building into the late 1990s, when it was demolished despite recognition of its historic significance. The tracks continued to be used for non-revenue service until they were reopened as part of the Pink Line in 2006. Given the proximity of the site to Chicago Stadium and its successor the United Center, there have been several attempts at reviving the station, especially after the opening of the Pink Line. In 2017, however, the CTA decided instead to reopen a station on Damen for the Green Line for added service to the United Center.

The Lake Street Transfer was a transfer station between Chicago's Lake Street Elevated and Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railroad, both of which were parts of the Chicago "L". It existed from 1913 to 1951, when it was rendered obsolete by the construction of the Dearborn Street Subway. It was an amalgamation of two separate stations – Wood on the Lake Street Elevated, one block away from the site of the future transfer station, and Lake on the Metropolitan that was on the site – that had been constructed in 1893 and 1895, respectively. The merger of the stations was a legal obligation to the Lake Street Elevated when the four companies that had formed the Chicago "L" merged in the early 1910s and involved the closing of Wood station while the Lake Street Elevated built its station at the site. After its construction, the transfer station served as the transfer between the two lines. It was double-decked, with the Metropolitan's tracks and station being located immediately above the Lake Street's tracks and station. Access to the Lake Street platforms was via a station house at the street level, and passengers would then use the platforms to access the Metropolitan's platforms via additional stairways. However, the construction of the Dearborn Street Subway rendered the Metropolitan's line in the area obsolete, and the station was closed shortly thereafter, although remnants of the station would remain until the 1960s. The site of the station later served as the junction of the Paulina Connector to the Lake Street Elevated, which was intended for temporary operation and would not enter revenue service until the Pink Line opened in 2006.
