The Dining Hall paintings, along with most of Risley's paintings, were restored in 2005.

The illustrious Guy Wells, Risleyite 1971-72, RHD 1973-1975, was able to identify them.


Gertrude Nye, the first "Warden" of Risley Hall, the World War I era version of today's RHD.


Andrew D. White, Cornell's first president.


Titled something like "Consolation of Music;" a genre painting of no one in particular. (I've always loved this one because it looks like it could have taken place right next to the left dining wing window near where it hangs).
