Archives–Navy Memorial–Penn Quarter (formerly Archives and

Archives–Navy Memorial) is a Washington Metro station in

Washington, D.C. on the Green and Yellow Lines.

 

The station is located in Northwest Washington at 7th Street between

Pennsylvania and Indiana Avenues, and it is very close to

Gallery Place-Chinatown, so close that the lights of one station can be

seen down the tunnel from the other.

 

It takes its name from the nearby National Archives, the U.S. Navy Memorial,

and the Penn Quarter neighborhood in which the station is located.

 

It is a popular stop for tourists, with easy access to the northern side of the

National Mall. Service began on April 30, 1983. Until 2005, the station was

simply known as Archives-Navy Memorial. At that time it was renamed

Archives-Navy Memorial-Penn Quarter, in recognition of the nearby Penn Quarter neighborhood
