Today, I received an email from Ms. Sharon Matyas, Special Events and Community Relations Manager at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, regarding the Institute's flag:
"Mr. Bassinson,
Attached are 2 pictures of the CIA flags we have. Essentially they are just our logos put on a flag pole. Unfortunately, no one here really knows about the history etc. Our school color used to be blue. It was then changed to green and gold. The logo has also evolved.
The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone - "The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone is a branch campus of the private culinary college the Culinary Institute of America. The Greystone campus, located on State Route 29/128 in St. Helena, California, offers associate degrees and two certificate programs in culinary arts and baking and pastry arts. The CIA at Greystone and the Culinary Institute of America at Copia make up the school's California branch. The campus' primary facility is a 117,000-square-foot (10,900 m2) stone building, known as Greystone Cellars and built for William Bowers Bourn II as a cooperative wine cellar in 1889. Hamden McIntyre designed the gravity flow winery along with other wineries of the decade. The building changed ownership several times, and was notably owned by the Christian Brothers as a winery from 1945 to 1989. It was used as a winery until its sale to the school in 1993, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.” Source:
