There are better examples recently built elsewhere (for example, here, built in 2018) that I think better reflect the old style in modernized form. I just don't like the specific look of Capitol Quarters. To each their own, of course.
Also, I didn't see the link to the Harrison Square ones, which I do like better.

They're nice in their own way, but they definitely don't have the same feel. I describe them as, "If Disney added a Washington, DC section to Epcot Center's World Showcase, it would look like this."

Me: "Excuse me, is this an Orange Line train to New Carrollton?"
Old Woman Rider: "On this very night, ten years ago, along this very stretch of track in a dense fog just like this... I saw the worst accident I ever seen. There was this sound, like a garbage truck dropped off the Empire State Building..."

I adore how our city has a continuous love/hate relationship with our Metro system.
