The ceiling and the camera mounted within it give this view of Woodley Park station its focus, a reminder of how the platform's architecture has been adapted for modern security. The Washington Metro was designed in the 1960s and 1970s, when architect Harry Weese shaped its stations around broad, curved concrete vaults and deep coffered ceilings meant to feel open and light underground. Later additions such as closed-circuit cameras were fitted into those original surfaces, so the picture shows two eras of the system meeting overhead. It is worth looking at how the new equipment sits against the older concrete.
