Baltimore Covered Bridge

The Baltimore Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge in Springfield, Vermont, United States. Description and history The bridge was originally built in 1870 by Granville Leland and Dennis Allen over Great Brook in North Springfield, Vermont on the road leading to the small town of Baltimore, Vermont. It is a small bridge, only 44 feet long. The Baltimore Covered Bridge was closed in 1967 due to its poor condition. Former U.S. Senator Ralph E. Flanders headed the committee to restore the bridge. It was restored under the direction of Milton S. Graton, a covered-bridge builder, and moved from North Springfield to a site next to the Eureka Schoolhouse in 1970. The restored Baltimore Covered Bridge was rededicated in the memory of Senator Flanders and Milton Graton. See also List of Vermont covered bridges References

University of Vermont

The University of Vermont and State Agricultural College, vardagligt endast University of Vermont, är ett amerikanskt offentligt forskningsuniversitet som ligger i Burlington i Vermont och hade totalt 11 823 studenter (10 513 undergraduate students, 23 postgraduate students, 461 doktorander och 826 övriga studenter) för hösten 2017. Den 4 mars 1791 gick Vermont med i Amerikas förenta stater och universitet grundades senare under samma år. Verksamheten tog dock emot sina första studenter ett decennium senare. Den 2 juli 1862 signerade den 16:e amerikanska presidenten Abraham Lincoln ett dekret med namnet Morrill Land-Grant Acts som godkände att delstaterna fick bygga delstatliga lärosäten på federal mark; detta resulterade i att universitet gick ihop med Vermont Agricultural College tre år senare. 1871 antog man två kvinnor till att studera på universitet och fyra år senare blev man första amerikanska universitet att tillåta kvinnor att studera på heltid. 1877 var universitetet också först med att tillåta afroamerikaner att studera. Universitet tävlar med 17 universitetslag i olika idrotter via deras idrottsförening Vermont Catamounts.

Park Street School

The Park Street School is a historic school building at 60 Park Street in Springfield, Vermont.Built in 1895 and enlarged in 1929, it was the town's first high school to be built after the consolidation of district schools began. It served as a high school until 1968. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. The building now houses a worker training organization and residences. Description and history Springfield's Park Street School is located across the Black River from the town center, on the south side of a climbing bend in Park Street. The building consists of two large blocks joined by a recessed connecting wing. The older portion of the building, built in 1895-6 is to the right, while the left side and connector were added in 1929. Both main blocks feature Classical Revival styling. The older one has a three-section facade, with a projecting central entrance bay flanked by large round-topped windows. The entrance bay is itself three bays wide, articulated by pilasters and topped by a triangular pediment. The 1929 block echos some of these features, with a similar central bay flanked by bays of large sash windows on each of its floors. The school was built in 1895-6, to a design by local architect Hiram Beckwith. It was not the first high school in the town, which was a private seminary established in 1846. After its move to Montpelier in 1866, the town established a publicly funded high school the following year. This school was built in part as a response to state legislating mandating municipal controls over all public education, essentially ending the era of district schools. The school initially had ten classrooms, which proved to be inadequate as little as ten years later to meet growing demand. A second building (no longer extant) was built on the same property in 1911 to meet this demand, with a further addition to the rear of this school in 1920. Continued growth eventually spurred the construction of the second large wing, which was designed by Haynes & Mason of Keene, New Hampshire and built in 1929-31. Continued population growth in the town eventually required the construction of the new Springfield High School, which opened in 1968. This school was then repurposed to house lower grades and school administration.

Bixby Memorial Free Library

Bixby Memorial Free Library is a public library located in Vergennes, Vermont. The library serves five Vermont communities: Addison, Ferrisburgh, Panton, Vergennes, and Waltham. History The library is a memorial to local business owner William Gove Bixby, who bequeathed the funds to build it. Frederick G. Frost was the architect. The cornerstone was laid in September 1911. On August 1, 1912, the 3,530 volumes plus public documents, government reports and unbound magazines of the City Library were transferred to the newly opened Bixby Library and dedication ceremonies were held on October 1, 1912. At the dedication, President John M. Thomas of Middlebury College said:“The free public library is one of our great modern democratic institutions. It is supported by all for the uplift of all…This library should be a working tool for this community, entering into every part of its life, industrial, educational, civic and religious.”On November 4, 1912, Bixby Library was first opened for the circulation of books, and every day until November 12, students and their teachers from the elementary and secondary schools visited to sign up for library cards and check out books—a total of 239 students. In addition to providing materials for circulation and places for quiet reading or study, the library was a community center. During World War I, the basement rooms were used by the Red Cross and, thereafter, were available to local residents for rest and relaxation from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily. By the tenth anniversary celebration on October 5, 1922, an annual circulation exceeding 30,000 was reported, a figure that increased to 39,903 in 1931. Services The Bixby Library's holdings includes books, large print books, audiobooks, DVDs, eBooks, and periodicals. The library provides free WiFi access, public computers, and printing services.

Northeast Kingdom International Airport

Northeast Kingdom International Airport, until 2015 the Newport State Airport (IATA: EFK, ICAO: KEFK, FAA LID: EFK), is a state-owned airport in Coventry, Vermont, U.S.A. It is located three miles (5 km) southwest of Newport, in Orleans County, Vermont. Facilities The airport covers 540 acres (220 ha) and has two asphalt runways: 5/23 is 4,000 x 100 ft (1,219 x 30 m) and 18/36 is 5,300 x 100 ft (1,615 x 30 m). In 2015 the airport had 9,452 aircraft operations, average 19 per day: 97% general aviation and 3% military. 20 aircraft are based at this airport: 88% single engine and 12% multi-engine. History The city of Newport owned the airport until it sold it to the state of Vermont in the 1970s. Northeast Airlines DC-3s served Newport from June through September between the years 1955 to 1961 and 1965 to 1967. FH-227s took over in the summer of 1968 but this was the last year the airport had scheduled commercial service. On August 14–15, 2004, the airport served as the site of Coventry, the former final live concert appearance by the musical group Phish, attended by tens of thousands of fans. On January 9, 2012, the state announced its intention to seek Federal approval for an expansion. The project, projected to take 9 years would extend the runway by 1,000 to 5,000 feet (300 to 1,520 m) with the capability of handling private jets. Other improvements include expanded water and sewer services, a new terminal, new taxiways, and services from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Transportation Security Administration. In 2013 Flight Design announced the intention of assembling CTLS planes at the airport from nine pieces, fabricated in Germany. It would employ about 35 workers. The airport was renamed in 2015 amid development plans for the Northeast Kingdom that included a major FAA funded upgrade to the airport. Runway, taxiway and other airport facility upgrades were completed in 2017. Outside resort developers had proposed plans for a new passenger terminal, commercial flights and the aircraft assembly plant, but were abandoned in April 2016 when the developers were charged with fraud for misappropriating the funds. On October 12, 2017, the FAA recognized the State of Vermont's airport name change from Newport State Airport to Northeast Kingdom International Airport.

E. J. Bullock Block

The E.J. Bullock Block is a historic commercial building at 7012 Main Street in Readsboro, Vermont. Built in 1891, it is a prominent local example of Second Empire architecture, with a long history of commercial, social, and civic uses. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021. Description and history The E.J. Bullock Block is a three-story wood-frame building, located on the south side of Main Street (Vermont Route 100), on the western side of the village of Readsboro. Its distinctive Second Empire features include a pyramidal tower extending above the front central bay, and a dormered mansard roof. The main floor of the front facade has storefronts on either side of a recessed center entrance, all framed by paneled woodwork which is also probably original. The storefronts each have a recessed entry flanked by large four-pane fixed windows. The ground floor houses spaces originally used for retail commercial purposes, the second floor housed offices, and the third floor had an open plan used for social gatherings. The block was built in 1891 by Elmer J. Bullock, operator of a local general store, during a period of economic growth in the small community which was spurred by the opening of a paper mill and the subsequent arrival of a railroad line. It was built after an arsonist destroyed his existing shop along with several adjacent buildings. At first known locally as the Music Hall, Bullock promoted use of the third floor as a performance space, drawing regional and national artists to the venue. The block continued to play an important role in the community after Bullock was bankrupted in the early 20th century, hosting all manner of community gatherings. In 1908 the hall was leased by the local Masonic chapter, a role it served until about 1968. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Bennington County, Vermont References
Brookline Baptist Church

Brookline Baptist Church is a historic former church building at 632 Grassy brook Road in Brookline, Vermont. It was built in 1836 for a congregation established in 1785, and served the congregation regularly until 1945. It is now used as a community function space. It is a locally distinctive example of vernacular Gothic Revival architecture, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021. Description and history The former Brookline Baptist Church building is centrally located in the town of Brookline, on the east side of Grassy Brook Road, the town's principal thoroughfare. It is a 1-1/2 story brick building, with a wood-frame rear addition of slightly lower height. The main facade faces the street, and is three bays wide, with each bay articulated by a recessed Gothic arch panel. The outer bays have entrances on the first floor and windows on the second, while the center bay has windows at each of those levels, and in the gable. A two-stage square tower, framed in wood and finished in wooden clapboards, rises to pinnacles at the corners. Brookline's first organized church congregation were Baptists, who established a formal organization in 1785. Early services were held in a barn, and it was not until 1836 that the congregation began to discuss the possibility of building a union church in conjunction with other local church groups. For unknown reasons, the Baptists opted to build their own church, and this building was the result. The rear addition, serving as a vestry, was added in 1895. Regular services were held until 1945, at which time the building was sold to the Brookline Ladies Benevolent Society. Since then, the building has been used for occasional summer services, weddings, community meetings, and town meetings.

Brown Covered Bridge

The Brown Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge in Shrewsbury, Vermont. Located in the northwestern part of the town, it carries Upper Cold River Road over the Cold River. It was closed to vehicular traffic in 2011 due to damage from Hurricane Irene and reopened on July 5, 2016. Built in 1880 by noted Vermont bridgewright Nichols M. Powers, it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2014, cited as one of the finest and least-altered examples of a Town lattice truss covered bridge in the United States. Description and history The Brown Covered Bridge is set in a remote wooded ravine in northwestern Shrewsbury, about 5 miles (8.0 km) southeast of Rutland, Vermont. The bridge is a single span lattice truss of a type patented by architect Ithiel Town in 1820. It is 100 feet (30 m) in length, and rests on stone abutments that have been capped in concrete. One of the abutments includes an extremely large boulder, a clear adaptation of the bridge to its location. The bridge is believed to be the only standing covered bridge in the United States with a slate roof, a once-common local variant feature of area covered bridges. It has vertical weatherboard siding, with a small opening at the eaves. The bridge has a roadway width of 13 feet 6 inches (4.11 m). The bridge has received only routine maintenance throughout its lifespan, most recently in 2002, when it was resided and its abutments treated. The Brown Bridge sustained minor damage from flooding caused by Tropical Storm Irene in 2011, and was closed. It was slated for rehabilitation after a 2008 inspection. This bridge was not the first to stand on the site, with maps of the area showing a crossing here as early as the mid 19th century. The location is about 100 yards (91 m) northwest of the home of George Brown, for whom the bridge was named. It was built in 1880 at a cost of less than $1100, by Nichols M. Powers, a noted Vermont bridgewright who then lived in nearby Clarendon. It is the last bridge known to have been built by Powers, who died in 1897. Powers' most famous work, the Old Blenheim Bridge in Schoharie, New York, was destroyed by flooding caused by Irene in 2011. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It is one of about 110 surviving Town lattice truss bridges built before 1955, and was identified as one of a few high-quality covered bridges in a nationwide survey conducted by the National Park Service in the 2000s. The bridge was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2014.
