"Much like the baby boomers who grew up in them, Modern houses of the postwar era are now at the point where they could use a little work -- not an extreme makeover, just an update. This was the case when the architect Alexander Gorlin was asked to renovate a 1956 Upper East Side town house by a couple for whom he had previously designed a TriBeCa loft."
this is a nice enough LES renovation project. but whats seriously missing are the real numbers. just how much does a 1,400 sf condo (in somewhat rough condition) on the corner of eldridge and rivington cost these days? then add in the $50,000.00 reno/furniture budget. so much for starving artists.

The ravages of time, however, are what necessitated the renovation and the museum's temporary closing on Oct. 31, 2001. Originally a complex of two separate buildings and a sculpture garden, the museum had no heating, no air conditioning and no usable basement. As a result it was open only from April through October. Nor did it have education facilities or space for temporary exhibitions.
