DC Metro Grosvenor Park-Strathmore Station

The DC Metrorail was concieved in 1960 but this particular station did not open until 1980. Riders are treated with close access to Grosvenor Park apartments, Parkside Park apartments (a huge complex with garden-style apartments) and Strathmore Hall Arts Center. A tunnel under Maryland Route 355 (Rockville Pike) connects the station directly to Grosvenor Park (named after the founder of National Geographic Magazine, Mr. Grosvenor's mansion can be found off the street which also bears his namesake)negating the need to make the journey across the six-lane mini-highway.
