FELDMAN: Pat Grandy, now retired from Zippo, called on Tuesday to share some pretty neat information.
Pat says the firm that designed Zippo’s museum is the same one that designed the Marilyn Horne Museum and Exhibit Center for the University of Pittsburgh of Bradford, Steve Feldman Designs.
“Two museums in Bradford were designed by the same man,” Pat said, explaining he had referred Feldman to Pitt for the excellent work he had done for Zippo.
“The Marilyn Horne Museum will open in 2017, and ours opened in 1997,” he said.
Steve Feldman design has a pretty impressive client list — West Point Visitors Center, The Billy Graham Center Museum, the Erie Canal Museum and the U.S. Army Chaplain Museum, just to name a few.
