Editing Collis Potter Huntington (section)

==Charity==
He acquired a substantial collection of art, and was generally recognized as one of the country's foremost art collectors. He left most of his collection, valued at $3 million, to the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]] in [[New York City|New York]], to pass into the museum's hands after the death of his stepson, Archer. His last will directed that if his stepson should die childless (which he did), Huntington's Fifth Avenue mansion or the proceeds from the sale of the property would go to Yale University. He also made specific bequests totaling $125,000 to [[Hampton University]] (then Hampton Institute) and to the Chapin Home for the Aged.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.reelyredd.com/web/images/stories/CP-Huntington-bequests.pdf |title=transcript of NY Times article "Mr. Huntington's Will" 8/25/1900 |access-date=December 10, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160911141543/http://www.reelyredd.com/web/images/stories/CP-Huntington-bequests.pdf |archive-date=September 11, 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
