Clark was a station on the Chicago Transit Authority's Howard Line, which is now part of the Red Line. The station was located at the corner of Clark and Roscoe Streets in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, at what is now the junction between the Red and Brown lines. Clark was situated north of Belmont and south of Addison.
History The station opened on June 6, 1900, and closed on August 1, 1949, along with 22 other stations as part of a CTA service revision. The main station structure was taken apart in the 1950s, and the mechanical tower was demolished and replaced by a new one in 1976.
In 2006, due to a major track and signalling renewal project, the CTA had to refurbish the mechanical tower to improve service reliability.
In 2021, the CTA built a flyover to replace the junction where the trains crossed at grade. The land surrounding the Clark and Roscoe junction had to be cleared.
