15. Fortunately, I believe everything was in storage |

Everything that survived the last fire in 2001 that is. It was supposed to re-open again next year. Bah. :(

7. Let's see - ugly little building surrounded by high-rises... |

artifacts in storage because of the renovations...
They could probably all fit in a first-floor museum of a high rise put up on the same spot.
(Am I too cynical?)

18. Restorations and demolitions tend to be dangerous times. |

Edited on Tue Aug-28-07 07:30 AM by Tesha
Cut wood, sawdust, hoaky electrical cabling, and oily rags abound, and the fire alarm system is often "bagged" so as not to get dusty or get false alarm trips from the dust.

It was my favorite place when I went to Boston. The guides are a hoot.
