View of a figure in a fountain on the campus of the Otis Art Institute, located at 2401 Wilshire Boulevard. The Otis Art Institute began when Gen. Harrison Gray Otis gave the site to the city in 1917 for advancement of art in the West. It expanded in 1939 when its Board purchased E.T. Earl's mansion next door. In 1946 the publically supported Otis Art Institute was renamed to Los Angeles County Art Institute. A $7,000,000 building project for new facilities, designed by Austin, Field & Fry, began in 1951 and included art galleries, library wing, administrative offices and classrooms. In 1960 it again became known as Otis Art Institute. In 1997, Otis, now known as Otis College of Art and Design, moved from this location to the Elaine and Bram Goldsmith Campus in West Los Angeles and in 2004 this campus became the Charles W. White Elementary School of the Los Angeles Unified School District. Location approximate.
