From the NGS description:

TO REACH FROM THE JUNCTION OF INTERSTATE 94 AND IL RT 68 PROCEED EAST ON INTERSTATE 94 FOR 1.5 MILES TO TOWER RD AND EXIT TOWER ROAD TO THE WEST. PROCEED WEST ON TOWER ROAD TO SKOKIE BLVD. AND TAKE SKOKIE BLVD SOUTH FOR 0.7 MI TO THE STATION 25.5 FT EAST OF THE CENTERLINE OF SKOKIE BLVD, LOCATED 0.1 MI NORTH OF CENTRAL AVENUE.

NOTE- ACCESS TO DATUM POINT THROUGH 6 INCH LOGO 'CAP. DATUM POINT IS 0.70 FT BELOW CAP.

From my visit, it seemed the datum point was much more than 0.70 feet below the cap, but that might have been an optical illusion.
