Grosvenor–Strathmore is the last above-ground station for Glenmont-bound Red Line trains; south of the station, trains cross over the Capital Beltway before descending underground. It is one of a number of stations on the Rockville Pike corridor in Montgomery County. LocationNamed after the nearby Grosvenor Lane, Grosvenor–Strathmore station lies within the unincorporated area of North Bethesda. Located to the east of Rockville Pike at its intersection with Tuckerman Lane, the main point of interest near the station is the Music Center at Strathmore.[2] In addition, it is the first stop outside of the Capital Beltway heading outbound towards Shady Grove on the Red Line. Station layout
HistoryService to Grosvenor (named for its proximity to Grosvenor Lane) began on July 25, 1984.[3][4] Grosvenor Lane was located at the {{convert|100|acre|ha}} farm of Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor (1875–1966), the father of photojournalism and the first full-time editor of National Geographic from 1899 to 1954. He moved there from the Dupont Circle area in Washington, D.C. after buying the farmland in 1912.[5] The station's opening coincided with the completion of {{convert|6.8|mi|km}} of rail northwest of the Van Ness–UDC station and the opening of the Bethesda, Friendship Heights, Medical Center and Tenleytown stations.[3][4][6] It remained the western terminus of the Red Line until the extension of that line to Shady Grove that December.[7] Trains from Silver Spring terminated here during peak times until December 2018. [8] In February 2005, the Music Center at Strathmore opened adjacent to the station, prompting the name change to Grosvenor–Strathmore. The arts complex and station are connected via an elevated pedestrian walkway, the Carlton R. Sickles Memorial Sky Bridge. Escalators and an underground walkway were also added to the station to allow customers to easily cross the busy road, Rockville Pike, that is adjacent to the station.
