History:

The tiny Willow station was not originally planned as a stop, but was added at the insistence of the city. The small station house was more than adequate for the modest neighborhood walk-in traffic that this station handled. Though it is not entirely clear when this station was built, it may have coincided with the construction of the Ravenswood branch in 1906-07.

By 1942, the station had disappeared, most likely demolished the year before to make room for the tracks' descent into the State Street subway.
