1298	Wendell Gilley Museum Sketches and Plans	Document, Projection, Architectural Drawing	Structures, Civic, Exhibition, Museum	Sketches, site plan, foundation plan, floor plans, elevations, details, schedules, electrical, mechanical, framing plans, plumbing, fireplace details, museum display cabinet plans Roc's Comments: Wendell told us he wanted the museum to have his workshop in the hopes it would inspire others to carve. After he died his son chose to auction the items in his shop off to the highest bidder. The audience knew of Wendells wishes and no one bid except the curator of the Museum who acquired all of the items for a reasonable price. I was then asked to design a room to display his shop and a workspace for carvers and a small auditorium. We had not realized how popular the place would become and needed space for expansion. I did this work from my home studio in Philadelphia and John DeFazio a fellow employee at Venturi, Scott Brown helped with the drawings.
