The Wadsworth, as it is most commonly known, was constructed on the site of the family home of Daniel Wadsworth[REF] in the heart of downtown Hartford.
In the 1940s and 1950s, bequests by Clara Hinton Gould and Anne Parrish Titzell enriched the museum's holdings of Hudson River School and Impressionist paintings, with celebrated pieces by Church, Cole, Gifford, Monet, and Renoir entering the collection.
