The University Art Gallery operated in what was originally built as a powerhouse from 1931 until the construction of the University
Art Museum, completed in 1968. Winfield Scott Wellington (1897-1979) was Professor of Design in the Department of Decorative
Art from1936 until 1965. He was director of the University Art Gallery at Berkeley from 1946 to 1962, and he mounted exhibits
in San Francisco museums as well.
