BASEMENT RENOVATIONS On Saturday, October 19th, nearly two dozen Foundation members and friends joined forces to clear out the basement, under the museum at 118 East King Street, of over twenty years' accumulation of files and papers, a wooden box here, and a little stool there, old copies of the Demuth Dialogue, exhibition announcements, garden tour invitations, and assorted bales of trash or treasure. Discarding a great deal in the process, the stalwart cleanup crew transported everything to be saved out to the Snuff Mill for temporary storage. When the basement had been completely emptied, it proved a splendid space in which two staff offices and a small conference room can be constructed, with flooring, dry wall, a new electrical system, adequate heating, and other embellishments to satisfy fire codes, including a railing to facilitate use of the outside stairs down to the door into the basement. Tippetts Weaver Architects are designing the project, and Gallagher Construction, Inc., is building it. Armstrong World Industries, Inc., is generously supplying a ceiling for the space, and Hamilton Equipment, Inc., has been equally generous in donating paint and other supplies.
