Villa Doyle

The Villa Doyle.

One day the Curatorial Team was digging through an old filing cabinet of loose papers, folders, fliers and binders. After digging through the heap for some time, nestled sweetly at the bottom of the pile was this vintage photo of the Villa Doyle (the original name of the building that the NAGB currently resides in) sometime in the 20th century.

This is not a photo of the original Villa Doyle, though the first half of the building encompasses the original structure of the building. The building in the photo, this large and beautiful structure, was taken after the building had been expanded upon by the owners, making it what it is today.

We hope you enjoyed this informative little tid-bit on the history of the NAGB!
