Comfort Station Logan Square — Arcades & Oddball Play in Chicago

Entry No. 87 — the Chicago file — filed under: repurposed building

Comfort Station Logan Square

A 1920s brick trolley-passenger waiting station — the kind of small utilitarian shelter cities used to scatter along streetcar lines — has been running as a scrappy, all-volunteer experimental art and performance space for over a decade, with rotating gallery shows, film nights, and a courtyard bowling party as its de facto annual gala.

The move: Catch one of the free Wednesday or Thursday evening exhibition openings or Sunday matinee programs; it's tiny, unpretentious, and the art rotates fast enough to reward repeat visits.

Where: 2579 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago, IL 60647

Hours: Added 2026-07-19 — confirm current hours before you go.
