THE GHOST OF DR. BARNES

Old Barnes Foundation in Lower Merion, Pennsylvania







I yesterday visited the old Barnes Foundation (since moved to Center City, Philadelphia), now converted the Frances M. Maguire Art Museum at St. Joseph's University. I was single visitor.

Eerie. The conversion prompted many memories. Old bones. Old ghosts.
