Addison Gallery of American Art Exterior
Platt, Charles A. · January 29, 1930
The Addison Gallery of American Art was built in 1930 through the generous gift of Thomas Cochran. It is named for his friend Mrs. Keturah Addison Cobb. It also provided funds to purchase the art collection for the permanent collection. Included in the collection is the school's copies of the Audubon Double Elephant Folio of Birds and his lesser known Folio of Quadrupeds. This view facing west towards the Peabody Archaeological Building shows the beginnings of the foundation for the gallery. The Stone Chapel remained open during the construction.
