Construction of William Saroyan’s house-museum has been launched in Fresno as part of Intellectual Renaissance Foundation’s Saroyan House Project.

The Foundation obtained the writer’s house in 2016 and had been examining the life and career of William Saroyan and developing the concept for the house-museum along with Storaket Studio for the past year.

Construction was launched following restoration of the exterior of the house.

William Saroyan’s house-museum is set to open on August 31, 2018, which marks the 110^th birth anniversary of the writer, writes MediaMax.
