Construction on the original building was completed in 1927. An example of the neoclassic style of architecture, it cost $800,000 to build and equip. It was enlarged in 1954 with funds bequeathed by Dr. Preston Pope Satterwhite. In 1973, a contemporary art wing was added, containing an expanded library, an auditorium, and art galleries. The latest addition to the museum opened in 1983. From the description of Construction Blueprints, 1954-1988. (Unknown). WorldCat record id: 19191605...
