Location: Federal Triangle Date: 2004-05-08 Comments: Provision for a second entrance to Federal Triangle station that was never built. When Federal Triangle was designed, there was discussion of demolishing the Old Post Office Building adjacent to the station, and building a second entrance in the plaza that would replace the old building. The Old Post Office Building was thankfully never demolished, and as such this provision was never used. |
