Location

Like the other La Grange Metra station (La Grange Road), La Grange-Stone Avenue is between West Burlington and West Hillgrove Avenues. Stone Avenue, the road for which the station is named, is actually a minor street which terminates at West Burlington Avenue in front of the station, only to begin again at a dead end street south of Bell Avenue. The closest major street to the station is Brainard Avenue. The station is within walking distance of the North Campus of Lyons Township High School. It is 0.4 miles (0.64 km) from the main La Grange station.[3]

The station was built in 1901 by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, to a Richardsonian Romanesque design by the company's general architect, Walter Theodore Krausch.[4]
