Massey to head LES tenement museum board

Paul Massey, CEO of Massey Knakal Realty Services, has been named chairman of the board of directors at the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, the Wall Street Journal reported. The museum, located in a landmarked tenement building at 108 Orchard Street, focuses on immigrants who settled in the city in the late 1800s and early 1900s and is currently planning a new education and visitor center across the street from its current home. Massey, who succeeds real estate investor Bruce Menin, will now take the reins in overseeing that project, which is scheduled to open in the spring of 2011. [WSJ]
