A rendering for the long awaited move of the Barnes Foundation to the Parkway will be released this Wednesday. The design of the current gallery is to be replicated in the new structure, and although it's being held confidential, the building will also contain a cafe, bookstore, and auditorium. I'm curious what's going to happen with the original building?

Can La Ronda be Saved?
Benjamin Wohl of Palm Beach, FL has pledged the $300,000 needed to relocate Addison Mizner's 1929 La Ronda, to an adjacent lot. Unfortunately the owner's lawyer, Joseph C. Kuhls, has stated that no offers will be entertained and the demolition will proceed as scheduled. Another Philadelphia masterpiece wiped clean from the canvas.
Email the owner and his lawyer here at pbaskowsky@saul.com and jkuhls@dbyd.com.
