- The late William Elmo Tabb, creator of the African Art Collection stemming from his missionary work in the Belgian Congo and Liberia, sits amongst the collection.

This irreplaceable collection, once housed in Haygood Hall, had an appraised value of approximately one million dollars. The collection and Haygood Hall were destroyed by fire on August 3, 1968.
