The project consisted of taking two 1840’s historic registered brick row houses on Delancey Place and converting one into a state of the art twenty-first century museum and collections storage facility (Phase I). This existing interior of the building was demolished from the bottom up to maximize the roof for protection of the adjoining buildings.

Phase II involved upgrading the museum’s proper electrical, HVAC and security and fire suppression system without disturbing the existing architectural interior period details.


Architect: Atkins, Olshin, Lawson-Bell
