Addison Gallery of American Art

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. Completed and ready to open its doors to the school and the community. The Chapel would remain a close neighbor until the Cochran Chapel was completed.
