The Gardners had always intended to show their art to the public, and Isabella opened the doors of Fenway Court on February 23, 1903. Admission was one dollar. While she lived, Isabella saw to much of the administration and set herself to produce a blueprint for running it after her death. In a steady stream, the dicta poured from her desk. "There shall be two women to live in the house on board wages and to be constantly on hand," she wrote. There would be "night and day watchmen—one for each time."
