If you ever took a class at the old Duke Street Annex, you might be surprised to learn you were painting atop history all along!
To the delight of archaeologists, an 18th-century ship is the latest find underneath the site of former Art League classrooms, along with a 1755 warehouse and three privies. The ship’s hull was preserved underground and is being dismantled today for preservation.
The public can view the site from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon on Tuesday before the wood is removed.
