Shelburne Museum

Das Shelburne Museum ist ein 1947 gegründetes Kunstgewerbe-, Kunst- und Freilichtmuseum in Shelburne im US-Bundesstaat Vermont 19 km südlich von Burlington am U.S. Highway 7. Die Ausstellung bzw. Sammlung geht auf die lebenslangen Bestrebungen von Electra Havemeyer Webb (1889–1960) zurück, die insgesamt 37 historische Gebäude hier „zusammenlegen“ ließ als Platz für ein „normales“ Kunstmuseum und den Ort für ein historisch orientiertes Freilichtmuseum, in dem auch ca. 80.000 Kunstgewerbegegenstände, insbesondere Quilts, präsentiert werden. Daneben gibt es eine Ausstellung von über 240 Kutschen. Hier finden sich alle möglichen Baustile Vermonts, wie zum Beispiel das Colchester Reef Lighthouse von 1871 mit ungewöhnliche Mansarddach, eine sehr seltene Rundscheune von 1901 und der Raddampfer Ticonderoga von 1906. Im Museum wird amerikanische Malerei des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts ausgestellt (Erastus Salisbury Field, Winslow Homer, Grandma Moses). Im Electra Havemeyer Webb Memorial Building ist die New Yorker Wohnung der Museumsgründerin im Stil der 1930er-Jahre wiedererrichtet worden. In den 6 Räumen sind bedeutende Gemälde von Rembrandt, Édouard Manet, Degas, Monet, Gustave Courbet, Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot und Daubigny ausgestellt. Literatur Nancy C.

Bennington Fish Hatchery

The Bennington Fish Hatchery, also known as the Bennington Fish Culture Station, is a state-operated fish hatchery at 110 Hatchery Road in Bennington, Vermont, USA. The station, the state's largest, produces a variety of trout, which are used to stock the state's water resources. Its facilities, dating to 1916, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The station has a visitors' center that is open daily. Description The Bennington Fish Culture Station is located southeast of downtown Bennington, on the east side of South Stream Road, which generally parallels South Stream, a north-flowing tributary of the Walloomsac River. The station has infrastructure on both sides of the stream, including a small cluster of buildings and a series of fish ponds and raceways, on more than 118 acres (48 ha) of property. Buildings of the complex include several that date to the hatchery's founding as an experimental station in 1916. These include the original superintendent's office and residence, which now serves as its visitors' center, and the main hatchery building, a handsome Colonial Revival structure, both of which were completed in 1917. The fishery currently produces stocks of brown trout, brook trout and rainbow trout, which are distributed to Vermont's lakes and ponds. History The station was established by the state on an experimental basis in 1916, after an earlier experimental station in Arlington was found inadequate. This one was made permanent after the quality and reliability of its water sources was assured. It grew to become a model fish hatchery by the 1930s, distributing thousands of pounds of fingerlings and fry throughout the state. Its facilities were significantly expanded in the 1940s with funding from the Works Progress Administration.

Manley-Lefevre House

The Manley-Lefevre House is a historic house at 1161 Dorset West Road in Dorset, Vermont. Built out of marble about 1820 and sympathetically enlarged 1908–1927, it is the centerpiece of a 100-acre (40 ha) farm estate that is now home to the Marble House Project, an arts organization offering residencies. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Description and history The Manley-Lefevre House stands on the west side of Dorset West Road, about 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Dorset village. The main house is a 2-1/2 structure, its walls and foundations built out of marble quarried either on the property or in West Rutland. The original main block is built out of ashlar stone, 20 inches (51 cm) thick, laid in irregular courses. It has a side gable roof, with brick chimneys built into the marble end walls. The front entrance retains original period flanking sidelights. The interior reflects significant alterations made in the early decades of the 20th century. Sympathetic additions extend to the rear of the original house. The property includes a number of outbuildings, most of which have been either added or adapted for use as artist residences or studios. A portion of the larger property is in agricultural use, and hiking trails lead to the quarries from which stone for the original house was taken. The main house was built sometime before 1820 by Martin Manley, on land originally purchased by his father George. The ashlar marble used in its construction was probably finished on site, while dressed trim elements where probably finished at a marble works in South Dorset. The Manley's quarry, later known as the Sanford Quarry, was one of Dorset's major quarries until its closure in the 1870s, its product shipped throughout the eastern United States. In 1908 the Manley property was purchased by Edwin Lefevre, Sr., who commissioned New York City architect Eugene Lang to design additions and updates to the house, and retained garden designer Charles Downing Lay to design the gardens that surround the house. Lay prominently featured this work in his 1926 book, The Freedom of the City. Lefevre, the son of a Central American diplomat, was an author and entrepreneur, who established the first electric company providing power to Dorset.

Wheelock House (Townshend, Vermont)

The Wheelock House is a historic house at 1096 Vermont Route 30 in Townshend, Vermont. Built in stages in the mid-19th century, it exhibits an unusual combination of Greek Revival and southern Gothic Revival features that is not otherwise known in Vermont. It is also possible that parts of the house were built using slave labor, an extremely rare occurrence in the state. The property, which now houses an art gallery, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Description and history The Wheelock House is located in southern Townshend, on the east side of Vermont Route 30 about 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the village center. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof, clapboard siding, two interior brick chimneys, and a granite foundation. It is set on a rise overlooking the road and the nearby West River. The corners of the building have paneled pilasters with molded capitals, rising to a narrow modillioned frieze. A single-story porch extends across the center three bays of the main facade, supported by octagonal tapered columns rising to a richly carved entablature. The main entrance is framed by sidelight and transom windows. The interior retains original plaster and woodwork of high quality, including a straight-run central staircase whose railings run continuously up to the attic level. The oldest portion of the house is believed to be its kitchen ell, which was probably built about 1820 by a member of the Wood family, who had owned the property since 1779. In 1839 the property was sold to Caleb Wheelock, whose son Allen is credited with construction of the major portion of the house in the late 1850s. Allen Wheelock spent several years in Natchez, Mississippi, where he administered an estate and apparently acquired significant wealth, including four slaves. The house incorporates some design features and building practices that are more typical of the South than they are of Vermont, and some of its decorative materials (notably the porch columns) may have been brought north. Local folklore includes unconfirmed stories that the Wheelock slaves were involved in its construction. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Windham County, Vermont References
Round Schoolhouse

The Round Schoolhouse is a historic school building on Grassy Brook Road in Brookline, Vermont. Built in 1822, it is the oldest brick schoolhouse in Windham County, and further distinctive for its round shape. From 1929 to 1989 it served as Brookline's town hall. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. Description and history The Round School House is located on the west side of Grassy Brook Road, south of the center of Brookline, and just south of the road's crossing of Grassy Brook. It is a single story circular brick structure, with a shallow-pitch conical roof. A gabled vestibule projects to the south, providing the only entrance to the building, and there are five windows in its walls. The roof is held together by an iron hoop, with rafters leading from the wall to a king post at the center. The post rises through the center of the roof, providing a finial on the exterior. The interior of the school is a single chamber, which originally had benches arranged to face the teacher's desk, which was located near the door. The interior dates to 1910, with tongue-and-groove flooring and wainscoting. The schoolhouse was built in 1822, replacing an earlier wood frame structure that stood nearby. The school was built by John "Thunderbolt" Wilson, a Scottish immigrant who is said to have been a highwayman in his native country, but established a practice as a doctor and teacher, serving Brookline and Newfane. The building was used as a schoolhouse until 1929, when a new school was built that conformed to state standards. The building was then used as Brookline's town hall until 1989. A plaque on the exterior of the schoolhouse, as of August 17, 2020, reads as follows: "Designed -1821- By Dr. John “Thunderbolt” Wilson. Built in 1822 on this site deeded to the Town of Brookline by Peter Benson, for the sum of $5.00. Dr. Wilson, a former Scottish highwayman, taught the first term of 60 pupils who sat on benches. The interior was completely renovated in 1910 and on March 5, 1929 the building was turned over to the Town of Brookline for use as the town hall. This building is thought to be the only round school-house ever constructed in this country." See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Windham County, Vermont References
W. H. Bradford Hook and Ladder Fire House

The W.H. Bradford Hook and Ladder Fire House is a historic fire station at 212 Stafford Street in Bennington, Vermont, United States. Built in 1893-94, it served for over a century as a fire house for the city, and survived modernizations with much of its historic fabric intact. It has been converted into artist studios and living space. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. Description and history The Bradford Hook and Ladder Fire House is located just northeast of downtown Bennington, at the southwest corner of Safford and Gage Streets. The area is mainly residential, with a public park across the street and a manufacturing plant one block to the west. The station is built of brick, and is two stories in height. It has two equipment bays on the ground floor, one of which has an overhead door, and the other has been enclosed by a three-bay wall, with pedestrian entrances in the right two bays, and fixed windows above paneling in the leftmost bay. All three of these bays have two-level transom windows above. On the second floor above each equipment bay are three round-arch windows, with smaller windows flanking a larger one. The interior has retained a number of original finishes, including a wooden ceiling on the second floor. The station was built in 1893-94, and originally housed the W.H. Bradford Hook Company on one side, and the F.M. Tiffany Hose Company on the other. The equipment it housed was drawn by horses, and the facility included a tower for drying hoses, which were subject to rot. The tower was demolished in 1912, replaced by a shed which was itself removed sometime after 1921. Also in the 1920s, the left-hand bay was converted to house the office of the fire chief. The station remained in active service until 1997. It has since been converted into studio and living space.

Rutland station

Rutland station is a train station in Rutland, Vermont served by Amtrak, the national railroad passenger system. It is served by the single daily round trip of the Ethan Allen Express. The station has a single low-level side platform, with a short high-level section for accessible level boarding. History Rutland's first railway station was built near Merchants' Row in 1853–54 by the Rutland Railroad. In 1905-06 wings were added to the north and south of the depot. Passenger service west of Whitehall and Eagle Bridge ended on June 24, 1934. The building served the city of Rutland until New York City to Montreal passenger service ended in 1953 (the Rutland RR's Green Mountain Flyer and Mount Royal), and two years later it was demolished. Amtrak service to Rutland commenced on December 2, 1996, with service provided to a temporary station platform. The station, which is located near the former Rutland Railroad yard on the western edge of downtown, opened in 1999. Designed by local firm NBF Architects, the station has walls of red brick that rise from a base of textured gray concrete block. To celebrate Rutland native Jim Jeffords, who represented Vermont in Congress, city leaders renamed the station the “James M. Jeffords Rail Passenger Welcome Center.” From March 2020 to July 19, 2021, all Amtrak service in Vermont was suspended in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the Ethan Allen Express truncated to Albany–Rensselaer station. The Ethan Allen Express was extended from Rutland to Union Station in Burlington, Vermont on July 29, 2022.

Colburn Bridge

The Colburn Bridge is a historic bridge in Pittsford, Vermont. It is a masonry arch bridge, carrying U.S. Route 7 (US 7) across Sugar Hollow Brook a short way east of the town center. Built in 1899, it is one of a modest number of surviving masonry arch bridges in the state, and exhibits particularly high quality period workmanship. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Description and history The Colburn Bridge is located about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) east of the town center of Pittsford, on US 7, the major north–south route in western Vermont. It is located near the former home of Charles Colburn, a blacksmith who moved to the area in 1832. Although US 7 is mainly a north–south route, at this point it runs east–west, crossing a gorge cut by the south-flowing Sugar Hollow Brook. The bridge is a single-span masonry structure, 46 feet (14 m) long and 39 feet (12 m) wide. The arch is semicircular, with a radius of 20 to 25 feet (6.1 to 7.6 m). The abutments are formed out of rough-cut limestone blocks, while the voussoirs of the arch face are slightly better dressed. The spandrels are faced randomly coursed rough-cut limestone. The bridge originally had limestone railings capped by dressed stone, but these have been removed. In their place are modern metal guardrails, partly set on concrete slabs that cantilever out slightly from the masonry structure. A bridge has been documented to exist on or near this site since the early 18th century. The present bridge was built in 1899, and was a gift of Anne Wagner Boardman, wife of Pittsford native Charles Nye Boardman. At the time of its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, it was one of seventeen documented masonry arch bridges in the state. Many older bridges were washed away in the state's devastating 1927 floods, and the state has not generally funded construction of stone arch bridges since 1915.

Gorham Covered Bridge

The Gorham Covered Bridge carries Gorham Bridge Road across Otter Creek in a rural area of Pittsford and Proctor, Vermont. It is a Town lattice truss bridge, built in 1841 by Abraham Owen and Nicholas M. Powers, the latter in the early stages of his career as a well-known bridgewright. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Description and history The Gorham Covered Bridge joins northern Proctor and southern Pittsford, both rural communities in central-northern Rutland County, Vermont. It carries Gorham Bridge Road across Otter Creek, a minor side road which forms the town boundary at that point. The bridge is oriented east–west across the north-flowing creek. It is a single span Town lattice truss, 114 feet (35 m) in length, resting on stone abutments that have been faced in concrete. The bridge has been strengthened by the addition of laminated beams below the road deck, which is 18 feet (5.5 m) wide. The bridge's exterior is sheathed in vertical board siding, which ends short of the roof line, and is topped by a gabled roof now covered in corrugated metal. The siding extends around the sides to the portal faces, and a short way inside the portals. The bridge was built in 1841, and is one of Vermont's oldest surviving covered bridges. It was built by Abraham Owen and Nicholas M. Powers, the latter then an apprentice to Owen. Powers, A Vermont native, was one of the best-known 19th-century bridgewrights, credited with a large number of covered bridges. At the time of this bridge's listing on the National Register in 1974, it was one of three surviving Vermont bridges known to have been built by Powers.
