Grundmann Studios

Grundmann Studios (1893–1917) in Boston, Massachusetts, was a building on Clarendon Street in the Back Bay. It contained artist's workspaces and multipurpose function rooms Copley Hall and Allston Hall. Prior to 1893, it functioned as a skating rink; after the Boston Art Students' Association leased the building it was renamed in honor of local art educator Emil Otto Grundmann.[1] The Massachusetts Institute of Technology owned the property.[2] Tenants included the Copley Society (formerly Boston Art Students' Association); artists Henry R. Blaney,[3] Herman Dudley Murphy,[4] Frank Richmond,[5] Mary Bradish Titcomb;[6] sculptor John A. Wilson, architect Josephine Wright Chapman; and the College Club.[7][8] The structure existed until 1917, when it was demolished.[9]
