Pencil Sketch

Hornby Lodge

by Thomas Cole

1841

This sketch of the famous Hornby Lodge was done by Thomas Cole when he stayed at the Lodge in 1841. The Lodge was the home of Elisha Johnson, a contractor working on the Genesee Valley Canal. Mr. Letchworth acquired a photographic copy of Cole's original sketch. This copy hung in his original Genesee Valley Museum and later in the Glen Iris Inn.
