The Wilmette depot, called the finest station on the line

Built in 1873 for the Chicago and North Western, this is the building that made Wilmette commutable and turned a lakeside settlement into a suburb. It handled passengers until the 1890s, carried freight until 1946, then sat unwanted until the village moved it bodily to a new spot in 1974. It survives as a restaurant, and the village still calls it the most historic building it has.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
