Update on the GR House:
The wiring and plumbing are completed and passed inspection by the building inspector - yea! Next, Gene is getting ready to put the insulation in the walls and put up drywall in the kitchen - the next to the last thing to do inside the house. The cabinets are sitting in the house and ready for installation. The alarm system has been repaired and is now working.
We are going to add a small half bath off of the kitchen so visitors will have a place to use the restroom without disturbing the tours through the full bath. After the interior is finished we need to apply to the city for the exterior improvements and landscaping. Don't worry- the look of the exterior will be kept the same as it was originally.
The Owens-Rogers House at 100 W Moore Street in Independence, MO was the home of Lela Rogers and Birthplace of Ginger Rogers. This museum is dedicated to both amazing women. The museum is open from April through September annually. See more information on the website at www.owensrogersmuseum.com.
