Classes began during the fall of 1877, and were held in a building at 312 North Broad Street.[1] Shortly thereafter, classes were moved into the old Franklin Institute at 15 South 7th Street.[2]
In 1893, PMSIA acquired a complex of buildings at Broad & Pine, vacated by the Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb when they moved to Germantown.
In 1964, following a series of name changes, the museum and the school separated: the museum became the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the school became the Philadelphia College of Art.[3] After further name changes the school became the University of the Arts. University of the Arts had retained the property at 320 S. Broad Street, called Hamilton Hall.
Notable people
The first president of PMSIA was Coleman Sellers II (1827–1907). The first principal of the school was Leslie W. Miller (1848–1931), who remained there for forty years, 1880 through 1920.
