Constructing a new Museum for the use and display of American Watercolors is not a new idea. Andrew Wythe, John Singer Sargent, James Hubbell to name a few have created a place for their works. However, a private museum with limited exposure houses only part of the created cross-sections of styles. It is this building, which combines Land, Water, and Light. This is a focused building which will crystallize the effort to show and preserve the various styles of this art.
