Submay: L'Enfant Plaza


This stop. L'Enfant Plaza Station, Washington D.C..

It was opened in 1977 and is part of four lines on the Washington Metrorail. It is the only station to be served by four lines, the latest lines being added in 1983. L'Enfant Plaza is another stand-out example of Harry Weese's signature design featuring coffered vaulted ceilings.


It should be noted that Weese's uniform vision couldn't contrast more starkly with the "individualism" of the metro in Moscow, where every station has its own identity. A bit ironic really.
