History

[edit]
The old Brookfield station, now a museum.

Brookfield station was originally built in 1889 as Grossdale station, whenSamuel Eberly Gross, aChicago lawyer, began selling building lots platted from farms and woodlands he had acquired along both sides of theChicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad line. Brookfield itself was originally known as "Grossdale," the name a request by Gross in return for the land used by the railroad.[2] The station was the first building Gross erected in the new subdivision. In 1981 the original station house was moved across the tracks onto the corner of Brookfield Avenue and Forest Avenue, and now houses the Brookfield Historical Society. The current Brookfield station serves as a standard commuter railroad station, while the old Grossdale station has been on theNational Register of Historic Places since 1982.[6]
