History
History
The Shelburne Museum constructed Webb Gallery in 1960 and designed the building to mimic the facades of its neighboring historic structures. Webb Gallery’s footprint, with a central gable and two flanking wings, echoes the symmetry and scale of adjacent The Dorset House, while the red brick exterior, reflects the texture and color of nearby Vergennes Schoolhouse and The Charlotte Meeting House. Despite the historic references, behind the old-fashioned façade Webb Gallery possesses a modern truss-roof and technological systems that provide the proper environment for the preservation of artwork.
