Mary Cooper Jewett Art Center, Wellesley College

Paul Rudolph
1955

One of Rudolph's earliest large commissioned buildings, the Jewett Art Center is closer to the "decorated-box" school of architecture (associated with Yamasaki and E. D. Stone) than to his later more monumental and sculptural buildings. Views of the front: whole, center with entrance, and far left
Detail of the front, showing the decorative screen, and views of the entrance

The back: the library extension on the left and another building on the right
Views of the library with decorative screens
The rear entrance with passageway to the front

Other Rudolph buildings on this site include: Art and Architecture Building, Yale, State Health, Education and Welfare Services Center, and Temple Street Parking Garage.
