Gardner Museum Trustees Green-Light Expansion
"The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's trustees voted unanimously yesterday to proceed with a new building designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano - a plan that has stirred up opponents who want a carriage house at the back of the museum preserved. ... The plan calls for demolition of the carriage house, erected by Gardner in 1907. The museum building opened in 1903." Boston Globe 05/19/09
