29th[a] was a rapid transit station on the Chicago "L"'s South Side main line. Originally constructed by the South Side Elevated Railroad company, it was one of the original ten stations opened on the Chicago "L", beginning service on June 6, 1892. The South Side Elevated Railroad merged operations with three other companies to form Chicago Elevated Railways (CER) in 1911, before merging outright with them in 1924 to form the Chicago Rapid Transit Company (CRT). Public ownership came to the "L" in 1947 with the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA).
After the CER merger, the South Side and North Side main lines were through-routed in various patterns with their various branches, and the CTA took to streamlining "L" service on the two simultaneously. The least-patronized regular-service station on the South Side main line for the majority of its existence, 29th closed alongside several other North-South stations on August 1, 1949.
The station, and others like it, had two wooden side platforms that originally surrounded two tracks. Originally having brick station houses at street level, 29th and the other stations on its part of the main line had their station houses demolished in 1907 and replaced with mezzanines to open up alley access below the tracks in exchange for being permitted to construct a third express track.
