Biography of Charles L. Hutchinson
Chicago financier, trustee and philanthropist.
Charles Lawrence Hutchinson was born in 1854. In 1856 his family moved from Lynn, Massachusetts, to Chicago, where his father, Benjamin P. Hutchinson, became a successful grain merchant, meat-packer, and one of the founders of the Corn Exchange National Bank. Charles Hutchinson succeeded his father in business and in banking, and his wealth and prestige allowed him to become one of the city’s leading cultural philanthropists.
Because he was a man of wide interests with a strong sense of civic duty, Hutchinson’s activities were not confined to finance but ranged over many aspects of Chicago life. Though his greatest enthusiasm was for art and the establishment and growth of the Art Institute, Hutchinson was president, board member, trustee and/or supporter of perhaps as many as seventy organizations and social institutions, orphanages, hospitals and schools. Among his numerous involvements, he served as president of the Chicago Board of Trade, director and chairman of the Fine Arts Committee of the World’s Columbian Exposition, trustee of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, president of the Chicago Orphan Asylum, president of St. Paul’s Universalist Church, vice-president of the Egypt Exploration Fund, president of the American Federation of the Arts, and treasurer of the Cliff Dwellers, of the Municipal Art League, and of the Chicago Sanitary District. Also, at the founding of the University of Chicago, in 1890 he was named a trustee of the new institution where he served as treasurer until his death.
Of Hutchinson’s life-long work with social and cultural agencies, his involvement with the founding and development of the Art Institute was his most passionate activity. In 1879 he was a trustee of the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, and 3 years later when it was renamed the Art Institute he became president – an office he held for the rest of his life. He spent years searching for and acquiring works of art for the museum and for his personal collection as well, often traveling abroad on buying trips with his wife, Frances Kinsley Hutchinson, and sometimes with his friend and fellow-trustee of the University of Chicago, Martin A. Ryerson.
Charles Hutchinson was regarded as one of Chicago’s finest citizens, spending his life working and giving to bring culture and comfort to his city. He died in 1924, leaving no children.
