Photograph of the front view of the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art in Augusta, Georgia, which is housed in the former home of Nicholas Ware, the mayor of Augusta at the time of the home's construction in 1818. The rectangular structure has two bay windows flanking the entrance. The doorway has six paneled, leaded sidelights and a fanlight. There are molded face pilasters on each side of the door. The staircase leading to this entrance has stone, horseshoe steps, a mahogany handrail, and iron pickets. A hipped roof with dormers and flared eaves covers the two and a half story structure.
The Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art is located in the historic Nicholas Ware house and the adjacent Walker-Mackenzie Studio in downtown Augusta. Founded as a nonprofit art school, the institute's primary mission is to educate citizens within the central Savannah River region and to showcase the visual arts through a variety of exhibitions, special programs, and classes. - Metadata URL:
