Addison Gallery of American Art Exterior

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. About thirty years later Bart Hayes, the Addison's Director, explains the merits of the new Elson Art Center to some Alumni who have come to see the construction.
