There is a plaque outside the building that talks about the history. You could Google the plaque. I just added my pic of the plaque to the photos portion of maps.
I would either call or email them for specifics.
Correct- it's a former school building
The website discusses this topic. Please look at the website. JFK.org.
The building is not a new construction, they rehabilitated the same location where the book storage was. I'd suggest you visit their website as they have lots of info on the exhibits. They even have a distance learning program that might be beneficial to you. Good luck on your project.
