Damen used to be the junction with the Humboldt Park Branch to the north and to the south the original Metropolitan 'L" turned south. When the Dearborn/Milwaukie Subway opened the Paulina 'L" survived for some time, but now its junction along with the Humboldt Park junction are now gone. There is a new Tower the was built in the 1940/50's for both branches, but was never used.
