Archives is a transfer stop on DC Metro (Green, Yellow), with 2 elevators and 5 escalators in the published inventory. This page shows whether those elevators look usable right now, using the same Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) feed as the live map.

On the Green Line, the previous stop is L'Enfant Plaza and the next is Gallery Place. If the elevator here is out and you can ride one more stop, check those stations or the live map before you go.

One station can serve two trips that feel very different once you are outside in a wheelchair.
