Susan B. Anthony House closing temporarily

for interior restoration

Rochester, NY—Susan B. Anthony House will be closed October 2, 3, and 4 for public tours because interior restoration work needs to be done in the front hallway, the House’s main entrance.  The House is expected to re-open for daily tours on Friday, October 5, 2007.

All special educational programs will take place as scheduled.

“We’ve been very fortunate to have remained open for tours all throughout the past year that that interior work has been going on,” states Deborah Hughes, executive director. “But the plaster repair in the front hallway requires us to close off the front door for everyone’s safety. Our great craftspeople will ensure that the disruption of our public hours is as short as possible.”

Visitors should call the House at 585-235-6124 for the latest information about hours.

The Susan B. Anthony House is supported primarily through the contributions of its members and donors. The Susan B. Anthony House is not affiliated with other organizations bearing her name.

Mission Statement (adopted 1/2007): The Susan B. Anthony House is a learning center through which we share and interpret Miss Anthony’s life as a champion of women’s rights, thereby inspiring and challenging individuals to make a positive difference in their lives and communities.
