Members History Popup: Bella, Malcolm Lein and the 1990–91 Museum Addition

This popup held in Malcom Lein’s island home (now Eric & Laurel Lein’s home), featured stories by the architect Thomas Blanck, remembering Bella Capser and explaining how the addition was designed and built. A highlight was a look at Blanck’s original drawings! We also got a look at the booklet (see below) commemorating the preview opening of the new addition: The Capser Center. And a tour of the Lein home, a 1930’s fabricated home consisting of sections, multiples of 3 feet, that are held together with bolts and wing nuts!
