Frank S. Packlick Drawing

Frank S. Packlick (1921-2014) worked as a chef at the Austen Riggs Center. However, that is not what Mr. Packlick is best remembered for. Following his service in the Navy as a cook during World War II, Mr. Packlick studied at the New England Art School. This is where he honed his drawing skills.

This print of the Glendale Store is just one of numerous historical buildings, people, animals, and nature scenes drawn by Frank Packlick. The Museum & Archives is proud to have other examples of his work, such as prints of Naumkeag and the Children’s Chimes, and the Red Lion Inn.
