. The
Washington
County
Museum
of
Fine
Arts
soon
after
the
completion
of the
building
in
1931
.
Notes
The
original
building
for the
Washington
County
Museum
of
Fine
Arts
was
designed
by the
New
York
architectural
firm
of
Hyde
&
Shepherd
.
Built
in the
neo-Georgian
style
, the
building
is
red
brick
trimmed
with
local
limestone
.
When
considering
the
location
of the
Museum
,
Hagerstown
City
Park
was an
early
favorite
, and the
viability
of the
location
was
confirmed
by
architects
Hyde
&
Shepherd
after
a
visit
to
Hagerstown
in
April
of
1928
. The
City
gave
the
Museum
a
plot
of
land
in the
preferred
location
directly
behind
the
lake
. The
local
engineer
,
John
B
.
Ferguson
was
selected
as the
building's
contractor
.
Ferguson
worked
closely
with the
architects
and the
Museum's
committee
to
attain
the
most
attractive
and
useful
building
possible
for the
allotted
amount
,
namely
the
$100,000
the
Singers
had
designated
for the
building
.
Even
so
,
it
appears
that the
total
costs
exceeded
this
amount
, as
evidenced
in the
note
Mavin
J
.
Hamilton
,
first
President
of the
Washington
County
Museum
of
Fine
Arts
Board
of
Trustees
,
wrote
on the
back
to the
photograph
.
