Located in downtown DC, it is the second busiest metro station on weekdays, after Union Station. The Metro system was designed by architect Harry Weese, and the original underground stations are known for their soaring, coffered vaults in the brutalist architectural style.  Metro Center has a modified "waffle" design with a distinctive cross-vault at the center of its upper platform. It is well worth checking out and photographing!   Lincoln Memorial Metro: Smithsonian Station via Blue and Orange Lines Among the various memorials that adorn the National Mall, the Lincoln Memorial is our favorite. Built to honor the 16th President of the United States, the Lincoln Memorial is in the form of a Greek Doric temple. It was designed by Henry Bacon.  The memorial is especially photogenic during the Golden Hour of both sunrise and sunset.
