British and European portraits and tapestries at the Chateau Chavaniac—a retreat built by Allan P. Kirby ’15 in the 1930s and given to the College in mid-1980s. The “Chateau,” inspired by the birthplace of the Marquis de Lafayette, is located about a mile from campus. The Chateau and its contents was given to the College in 1985.
Research on the artwork is an ongoing project.
