Tour through a collection of galleries that all feature unique artworks by many up and coming artists. Originally built in 1870's, it was a Red Line Trolley station that became an art collective with many great galleries, a unique gifts shop, and a cafe. It again became a train stop for the new Metro Line and is definitely an interesting place to visit while here.
