Washington Lincoln Gallery Cracked by Subway Builders
Cracks appeared in the Lincoln Gallery at the Old Patent Office Building near Washington’s subway construction. The National Collection of Fine Arts and the National Portrait Gallery face a temporary closure while officials assess damage to about $7.5 million in artworks and the building. Repairs and a reorganization plan are planned as engineers say movement may have stabilized.
