Grundmann Studios facts for kids
Grundmann Studios was a special building in Boston, Massachusetts. It was open from 1893 to 1917. You could find it on Clarendon Street in an area called the Back Bay.
This building was a place where artists could work. It also had two big rooms called Copley Hall and Allston Hall. These rooms were used for many different events. Before 1893, the building was actually a skating rink! Later, a group called the Boston Art Students' Association rented it. They renamed it to honor a famous art teacher named Emil Otto Grundmann.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) owned the building. MIT's campus was right next door. Many interesting groups and people used the studios. These included the Copley Society, which was the new name for the art students' group. Famous artists like Henry R. Blaney and Mary Bradish Titcomb had studios there. A sculptor named John A. Wilson and an architect named Josephine Wright Chapman also worked there. Even The College Club used the space.
Grundmann Studios stood until 1917. Then, it was taken down to make way for a new road called Stuart Street. This was part of a big city plan to build a "broad highway."
