516 Sampsonia Way, our soon-to-open 2,500 square-foot
exhibition space, was a rental property from the late 1800s until the 1980s.
While Molly Tighe, our archivist, was digging through historical documents to
research the building, we were contacted by Richard Morris, whose family lived
in the property from 1934 until 1963. Morris was a wealth of information, and
provided stories and pictures about life in the North Side at the middle of the
century. Since his stories give such a great sense of space for the building
and resonate so well with the themes of our opening exhibition there—Chiharu
Shiota: Trace of Memory—we decided to make a video, and let Morris take you
through a virtual tour of the building before it opens on September 12th. Enjoy!
