Our history

Button Gallery traces its lineage to London, where it began over 200 years ago before crossing the Pacific to New York City and then Chicago. The gallery is named for W. Russell Button, its first owner and director in the United States. Button Gallery was located in Chicago’s Gold Coast at 66 E. Walton Street for many years before moving to Douglas in 1966. The gallery’s Douglas location, 955 W. Center Street was just a stone’s throw from Lake Michigan in a long, low rancher with beautiful English gardens.
