This past weekend Fauzia and I took a little trip up to Doylstown PA, where the Mercer Museum & Fonthill are located. This is the Museum that I am currently working on at my office. We are in the process of adding a new gallery and entry pavilion for the Museum. The current building was built in the 1800's buy Henry Chapman Mercer, as a museum to document the history of American work tools. The Building was designed by Mercer to look like a castle and it is entirely made of concrete. As part of the Mercer Experience we also visited Henry Mercer's House Fonthill, also made out of concrete and clay tiles. Doylestown is also a very nice little historic town well worth a weekend trip.
The Inside of the Museum looks like a scene out of a Harry Potter book.
