Gallery Place-Chinatown is located in Northwest Washington, with entrances at 7th and F, 7th and H, and 9th and G Streets. The station is right under and serves the Verizon Center, and the surrounding Chinatown and Penn Quarter neighborhoods in downtown Washington, D.C. The station is located very close to Metro Center, such that the lights of one are visible down the tunnel from the other. The station was originally named "Gallery Place", after the nearby National Portrait Gallery and Smithsonian American Art Museum. In 1986, "Chinatown" was added to the name of the station, and in 2000, a large Chinese-style fan, entitled The Glory of the Chinese Descendants, was installed over the 7th and H Street entrance. [1]
