History
Service began on March 27, 1976.[3] This station is also the birthplace of the Metro, as the initial groundbreaking was held here on December 9, 1969.[4]
During a September 2012 refurbishment of the station, new signage was installed. Similar signage can be found at the Gallery Place, NoMa–Gallaudet U station, Morgan Boulevard, Grosvenor-Strathmore, and Largo Town Center stations. It is the only station with two-sided platforms with elevators between each platform and street.
From March 26 to June 28, 2020, this station was closed due to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.[5][6][7]
Between January 15 to January 21, 2021, this station was closed because of security concerns due to the 2021 Inauguration.[8]
