EO Museum Receives New Windows!
As of July 8th, the Museum building is being updated with the installation of fourteen new windows.
We have been surviving with single pane glass for the last couple of decades, and now we have beautiful, double pane windows! The windows, manufactured by Marvin, are single hung, six by six grids. We will be able to open the windows and let the fresh air circulate. Those of you who have been in museums know that air circulation is so important. We are so excited to feel and smell the new life that will be breathed into our sweet, old building.
Our sincere thanks goes to The Ramsay Family Foundation and Ed and Cathy Ramsay for funding this project. Sid Johnson and Co. are the contractors who are handling this challenging job. Our collections are being moved so the workers can put on the trim, but we are still open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday through Saturday until Labor Day.
Capital Campaign Complete
Our roof has been rebuilt and re-covered and our gutters have been replaced. Our roofing company, Landmark Roofing, did an amazing job, digging deep and finding the causes of our leaks. We are thrilled to know that our roof is sound and will be keeping us dry for many, many years to come. The gutters were replaced by Top Notch Roofing & Gutters, which will keep the water from dripping directly down the sides of our building, ensuring dry siding and windows. Our deepest appreciation goes to the Oregon Community Foundation, the Roundhouse Foundation and the Leo Adler Foundation for funding these projects.
Ann Bradford gave us a quick concert on the 4th of July, and considering this piano withstands 30 degree weather in the winter (our building isn’t heated), and 80 degree heat in the summer, it sounded darn good! Thank you, Ann!
