 In its first year of ownership, the Graham Foundation commissioned architect Daniel Brenner to make significant interior alterations to the house, removing many of its partitions and domestic accoutrements in order to better suit the foundation's philanthropic and educational activities.The mahogany in the new exhibition rooms was bleached, while the walnut foyer remained the same.The kitchen was converted into a library that now houses all of the publications funded by the foundation since it was founded.
