Harrison was a rapid transit station on the Chicago "L" between 1926 and 1951 located on the Westchester branch.
The Westchester branch opened on October 1, 1926, with a station on Harrison Street.[1] It continued in service until replaced by bus service on December 9, 1951.[2]
The station was at ground level, with a Craftsman- and Prairie School-influenced station house with exterior stucco walling and an island platform.[1]
Throughout its existence, ridership statistics were collected at Harrison for only four years: 1933 and 1946 - 1948. In 1933, Harrison collected 5,160 passengers. For the last three years in which station-specific Westchester ridership statistics were collected, Harrison served a respective 21,375, 49,758, and 38,630 patrons. Its 1947 performance made it the third-least patronized of 222 "L" stations that were at least partially staffed, ahead of only Campbell and Randolph/Market on the Lake Street Elevated, while in 1948 it was the 215th-busiest of 223 such stations.
