The Douglas Fairbanks Museum’s re-opening, originally scheduled for Monday, March 1, 2010 is being postponed due to the discovery of toxic mold in the walls of its’ new building.
The historic 1890s home at 209 Saint George Street was recently renovated and restored prior to the museum’s planned re-opening. Then mold was discovered in the main entrance hall area and inside the curator’s private office.
Inside they had already dedicated more than 800 square feet to gallery and exhibit spaces designed to showcase the history of American cinema and honor the memory of a pioneering silent film star.
Plans were in place to open the museum in early March, just in time for Gonzales’ Texas Independence Day celebrations. But that has all suddenly and unexpectedly changed.
