Some say Norman Rockwell created art in some 20 studios during his life. I could only find 15 of them. It was the last one that he called his “best studio yet.”

#20

The building was originally located in the backyard of his home on South Street in Stockbridge, MA.. In 1976, toward the end of his life, Rockwell left the studio and its contents to Norman Rockwell Museum.

The building was cut in two and moved to the Museum’s grounds in 1986.

“Like any other studio that Mr. Rockwell had, it looked north, natural light’’

#18

Built a new studio behind the new house in Arlington. It was built in 1943 to replace the studio that burned

There was a second studio on the property that was used by son Jerry

#17

That summer while waiting for the new studio he worked in the one room schoolhouse near the old place, bicycling down the back road every morning with lunch in a basket.

#16

Arlington Vermont studio that burned 1939-1943.

Address unknown. From “My Adventures as an Illustrator” I found description of when the property was purchased.

“That morning Bert showed us a farmhouse with an apple orchard, a river, two barns, broad fields, and sixty acres of land. You see that island in the river there? He asked as we stood in front of the house. On it the only person killed in Arlington during the Revolutionary war was shot.”

It was not far from the new studio built in 1943 because Norman rode his bicycle to a temporary studio in a schoolhouse near the new studio site every day during its construction.

Looking on Google Earth I see only one nearby island in the only river (“Batten Kill”).  It show an address of 2752 Batten Kill Rd (close maybe?).
