Fred Noyes Returns!
Fred Noyes returns to the museum! Well, not actually Fred, but one of his paintings dating back from 1949. Mrs. R. Bayne Williams Jr., from Fort Myers, Florida, donated the still-life in oil back to the Noyes Museum this month. This painting was a gift by Fred "Fritz" Noyes to her father-in-law, Mr. R, Bayne Williams, who was the original architect of Smithville Inn and a personal friend of Mr. Noyes. After Mr. Williams' death in 1952, the painting was given to Mr. R. Bayne Williams Jr. who also designed Quail Hill and Rams Head Inn.
