Description Newcomb College Art Pottery Plaque , , 1915, decorated by Sadie Irvine, low relief of old Newcomb Chapel, matte glaze with blue, green, and pink underglaze, Newcomb cipher top right, reverse with decorator's mark, reg. no. HM14, and remnants of original label, 6 in. x 10 in., framed. Provenance: Estate of Eunice Bate Coleman, New Orleans, LA Note: The Newcomb Chapel was built in 1894 at Newcomb's old Washington Avenue campus in New Orleans. Like the college, the chapel was dedicated to Sophie Newcomb, the daughter of the college's benefactress, Josephine Louise Newcomb. When the college outgrew the original campus in 1918, the chapel was vacated, and along with the college, was razed in the 1950s to make way for residential development in the Garden District
