Charles Lang Freer
Charles Lang Freer (February 2, 1854 – October 25, 1919) was an American industrialist and art collector, best known for his large collection of Asian and American Art which he donated to the Smithsonian Institution in 1906. In addition to this 2,250-object collection, including James McNeill Whistler’s Peacock Room, Freer also founded and funded the construction of the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. to house his collection.
==Early life==
Freer was born in Kingston, New York, in 1854 or 1856.〔(Charles Lang Freer Home ) from Detroit1701.org〕 As a teen, rather than finish high school, he went to work as a business clerk for a business. There, he was noticed by Frank J. Hecker, the manager of a local railroad, who hired Freer as a bookkeeper.〔 In the 1870s, a group of investors from Detroit decided to build a rail line in Logansport, Indiana; they hired Hecker to manage the project. Hecker brought the younger Freer along.〔
