[3] Plans to add a pedestrian tunnel connecting Gallery Place with Metro Center have long been in the works.

The "Gallery Place/Chinatown - Metro Center Pedestrian Passageway Tunnel Study" was completed in July 2005.

[4] Service began on December 15, 1976, as part of the original Red Line that ran from Farragut North to Rhode Island Avenue–Brentwood.

[citation needed] In 2000, a sculpture entitled The Glory of the Chinese Descendants by Foon Sham, was installed over the 7th and H Street entrance at the mezzanine level.

[6] The station reverted to its original name, Gallery Place, on November 3, 2011, with "Chinatown" listed as a subtitle.
