Art Studio

Constructed in 1906 largely through the donation of Mrs. W. W. Cummer of Jacksonville, the Art Studio contained three spacious rooms, and was the first creative art building on Rollins campus. A small, rustic structure, it was moved in 1909 to where the Elizabeth Hall currently stands, and was painted white to conform with the rest of buildings on campus. From 1923-1927, it was used for classes in physics and for WDBO, one of the first radio stations in Central Florida. In 1958, the building was once again moved to west of where Cloverleaf was and south of the tennis courts. The structure was then used as construction office during the building of the Elizabeth Hall, and was later occupied by the athletic and physical education program from 1958-1968. The building experienced its final move in 1969, when it became an annex to the French House, and also a paint shop before its demolition in the 1970s.
