"The Chicago and North Western Railway built the Chicago and North Western Terminal in 1911."
"In 1984 the 1911 head house was razed and replaced with the glass-and-steel 42-story Citicorp Center, which was completed three years later in 1987. The station was re-named the Ogilvie Transportation Center in 1997."
