i 'Si 'I il IV, -V I i 'J 'f i 'r iv til VJ 'r rw Hrrir "i'i i i wn ii ii mi un iimn i early as 1983, city councils were reluctant to take on thd added expense. 1 With approval of the new set of bylaws by the current city' council last, winter, the way was paved for. the director's position, though several 1 councilmen i still indicated, doubts about committing; the, city to such funding. The position was approved for half-time at (6 ,000, per, however, following several discussions at; the" committee level during budget, hearings. Acting city- manager "Jim? Farmer said summer' youth crews hired to help witl) city maintenance have beefi used in, the past, for maintenance and; improvements to the Bond House.

He said he expected the, crews will be used again, tills summer, if needed. -( According to museum board chairman Horace De Vargas, now that the Bond House, has a security system 3 and director, arrangements will be made to provide Insurance for exhibitions He noted that should be added attraction for tra VAlIlnr ihnm and artlata. and Gallery One, for the long-high-ceilinged room on the north side. I Since Gallery One is in the best condition and will take the least' to prepare for art shows and exhibits, Garmhausen plans to renovate it first. At the same time she will, pursue funds that can be used' for renovations and furnishing the facility, and establish a calendar of events.

Volunteers will be cganlzed so the museum can be kept open with regular hours, and the director to work with area and regional arts organizations to help establish the Bond House's reputation. Seeking grants from every available source also will comprise part of the director's duties. Such grants could be jused for development of both the facility and its programs. Garmhausen. hopes to establish children's art classes, along with an annual children's art show.

She pointed to such a need because elementary children are not usually taught art formally in the public schools. COLLECTION In the meantime, she'll be collecting furnishings and artifacts, as well as creating an inventory of existing artifacts, which currently are stored In the basement of City Hall. Travelling art exhibits will be sought, once galleries can be prepared to hold them, she said. Much work ultimately will have to be put into the Bond House, parts of which date back to 1887. However, no major structural changes were made when the city moved its offices Into the former residence in 1957, so restoring it to its original appearance should not require too much work, Garmhausen said.

Orginally built by Frank Bond, an early Espanola merchant, the house grew over the years as the family added to it. Additions were in the Victorian style, through the original had almost typical southwestern architecture. The city purchased the landmark for $10,000 from Mrs. By THOM BARNES SUN Staff Writer Establishment of the Bond House Museum, mostly through the work of volunteers, represents the true spirit of Espanola, says the new director. Winona Garmhausen, recently-hired half-time art director at the museum; also promises to develop the facilities and programs into what those original volunteers foresaw when they insisted the old house be preserved as a museum.

The director, who holds a PhD in American studies from University of New Mexico, said she is thrilled to be a part of what she believes can become an excellent facility, She pointed out the members of the San Gabriel Historical Society and other volunteers who helped preserve the Bond House deserve much credit for saving it. "I'm overwhelmed by what's been done," she observed, adding she hopes to "follow their wishes and carry out what they wanted." CREDENTIALS A former analyst for the state Senate Education Committee, Garmhausen brings an impressive list of credentials to her position here. Her most recent job was in Santa Fe where she was community relations director for C. G. Rein Gallery.

An excited Garmhausen began work last week. Espanola City Council approved addition of the half-time position in the 1985-86 budget. She will have her hands full bringing the Bond House up to the standards of a full-fledged museum, but the director says she is confident volunteers will help with that and with running the museum. Volunteers wishing to work in the museum will be thoroughly trained in the art field in return for their services, she said. Garmhausen has developed a list of numerous priorities for development of the Bond House, but several must come first.

Among those are preparing the reception area Ethel Bond Huffman and made It City Hall in 1957. Tn 1976, the city council passed a resolution saying the city "expresses its interest in the historic and recognition of the historical significance" of the house. The. resolution further, urged citizens to "assist in any way possible to retain the Bond House as an Important part of the history of Espanola." With completion of the new City Hall in 1979, the offices 'were removed, and the house stood vacant. After a dispute Cn between several groups who wished to use It, permission was granted the San Gabriel Society to house, a museum there for a two-year trial' period.

In March 1980, the museum board was created by the mayor and city council, while at the same time Bond House was added to the National Register of "Historic. Places, through the efforts of the Historical Society. However, because the facility still was vacant by September, 1980, vandals broke in and stole much of the original brasswork, later recovered, and broke windows and glass throughout the house. The old mansion was closed and its windows boarded over until September, 1981, when the Historical Society sent letters to residents asking for $10 donations to repair it. RESTORATION About $1,200 was collected, and later that fall, volunteers began restoration.

By February, .1982, a city policeman had been moved into the top floor to provide security, and it looked as though the Bond House Museum was off to a brilliant beginning. A grand opening ceremony in March, 1982, was attended by more than 500 people, in-' eluding the governor. 'aI However, because the museum board had no director to operate the museum, no security system, and no insurance to cover exhibitions, artists proved difficult to attract, and eventually most furnishings were removed and the museum again fell more or less vacant. In December, 1983, the city received a grant for $24,500 to Install a security alarm system and make repairs to the wiring In the house. Later, NM State Policeman Keith Elder moved into the upstairs to provide additional Though the museum board had expected to have a director's position funded as READY TO WORK is newly named Bond House Museum art director Winona Garmhausen, who will work half-time to furnish the museum and develop its programs, (Sunfoto) Magistrate Court who might otherwise be reluctant to leave valuable artifacts or artwork there! without the Insurance.
