SAI Detroit Convention -
Mrs. Mary Christie of Delta
Chapter suggests raising
funds for a studio at the
MacDowell Colony in
Peterborough, NH.
Marian MacDowell asks
SAI to fund a cottage
instead of a studio for all
season housing; additional
funds are raised and
construction begins.
A three-level building with central
staircase, six bedrooms, and full
kitchen and dining area is
equipped with heat and electricity
for year-round use.
