==History of the Museum==
The New York architectural firm of Hyde & Shepherd designed the original building for the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts. Built in the neo-Georgian style, the building is red brick trimmed with local limestone. The original facade features the museum’s name inscribed in large capitals flanked by rosettes. Inset in the rooftop balustrade, a panel showing an artist’s palette further denotes the building’s use. Founder Anna Singer frequently referred to the original structure as the “first unit” of the building. She followed through with this plan for enlargement with her 1946 offer to fund two new wings, which were completed in 1949. A later addition, begun in 1994, formed an open courtyard around the original entrance.
Architects Hyde & Shepherd designed a building that would sit nobly behind the lake and the cornerstone was placed on July 15, 1930. The Museum opened its doors to the public on September 16, 1931. Since then the Museum's collection has grown to over 6,000 art objects.〔http://www.whilbr.org/WCMFA/index.aspx〕
