The Hispanic Society of America, home to one of the largest collections of Hispanic cultural material outside Spain, has decided to move downtown from Washington Heights to draw more visitors and acquire the space it needs to display its art and artifacts. Since its founding in 1904, the society has been on Audubon Terrace, a stately row of Beaux-Arts buildings near Broadway at 155th Street. The chairman, George B. Moore, said that its board has been looking at real estate and development proposals in Battery Park, Chelsea and Midtown, but has no fixed area in mind.
