W. Stuart Archibald (1910-1987) grew up in Chappaqua and may have been among the first graduates of the new Horace Greeley School in 1929. He attended Antioch College and then became a professional artist, specializing in watercolors of landscapes and marine subjects. In 1938, he was commissioned by Mrs. Marshall to paint a series of watercolors of Chappaqua subjects, mostly the Quaker meetinghouse and Mrs. Marshall’s own home, the historic Stony Hollow farmhouse on Quaker Road.Made/Created
