Open Wide

We said we wanted to open up the Valentine and connect with the street…but we may have gone just a little too far.

There has never been this much natural light and fresh air flooding the building. 

Windows from the 1970’s addition were removed this week to make way for new windows that will not only provide views into the galleries but also reduce the levels of harmful UV light. 

Everything is safely secured each evening by our friends at Kjellstrom and Lee, but it is a little disturbing to see this giant opening in the side of building. 

Are you curious about our progress? Join us for a Hard Hat Happy Hour happening every Wednesday from 4:30-6:00 p.m. You can contact me for more information or RSVP online and let me know you’ll be coming by. 

If you would like to help keep us calm and hammering on, you can support the History Center on our secure donation page at /give.
