The Alex and Marie Manoogian Treasury House Museum opened on 11 October 1982. The Treasury House Museum is a fine example of modern Armenian Architecture which encompasses the original and distinctive features of classical Armenian architecture. The architect is Mr. Baghdasar Arzoumanian.
The Treasury House was named after the great American/Armenian benefactors Mr. and Mrs. Alex and Marie Manougian. This beautiful and valuable building was erected due to their donations. The two story structure houses not only the museum pieces of the Armenian Church, but also serves as the temporary building for the Karekin I Library.
