Reverence (sculpture)

Reverence is a sculpture in Vermont created by Jim Sardonis in 1989 that depicts two tails of whales "diving" into a sea of grass. It is meant to symbolize the fragility of the planet. The tails were made from 36 tons of African black granite and stand 12 to 13 feet (3.7 to 4.0 m) tall. The sculpture was commissioned by British metals trader David Threlkeld, who was then a resident of Randolph, Vermont. The tails were to be at the entrance to a conference center that Threlkeld was planning, but financing fell through and Threlkeld moved to Arizona. After ten years at this Randolph site, they were sold and then moved to Technology Park in South Burlington where FedEx has a distribution center and public hiking trail with parking lot. The Whale Tails, as the sculpture is more commonly known by local residents, is a landmark on the side of Interstate 89 between exits 12 and 13, notable partly because Vermont is a landlocked state. The sculpture is located at 44°26′44″N 73°08′35″W, on the right side of the northbound lane. The sculpture has graced the covers of at least two books, Weird New England by Joseph A. Citro and the art history textbook A World of Art by Henry Sayre. This sculpture is documented in the Smithsonian's Save Outdoor Sculpture! database. The sculpture was examined for Save Outdoor Sculpture! in 1992 while it was located along Interstate 89, west of exit 4, Randolph Center, Vermont. Whales in Vermont Fossils of marine invertebrates found in the Champlain Valley reveal that Vermont was underwater during the Paleozoic Era, more than 300 million years ago, long before the advent of mammals. In recent geologic history, the last glacier melted away about 12,500 years ago, and the sea poured in. This inland sea was inhabited by many of the animals that inhabit the North Atlantic today, including mollusks, sea urchins, squid, herring, cod, salmon, seals, and belugas. In 1849, while constructing a railroad, workmen uncovered the bones of a beluga whale in a swampy area in Charlotte, Vermont. The fossil beluga is housed in the Perkins Museum at the University of Vermont. By about 10,000 years ago, the Champlain Valley had risen above sea level. The valley's waters drained northward into the St. Lawrence River, a major waterway in Canada connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. Over 20 fossils of ancient beluga whales have been found around Lake Champlain. The artist Jim Sardonis is a jewelry maker as well. Some of his jewelry is based on Reverence including rings depicting the two tail Sardonis said about his work: My work is inspired by natural forms – human, plant, and animal ... I seek opportunities to use my work to emphasize the kinship and interconnectedness of all living things and the importance of the survival of each of them.

Fletcher–Fullerton Farm

Top Acres Farm, known historically as the Fletcher–Fullerton Farm, is a farm property at 1390 Fletcher Schoolhouse Road in Woodstock, Vermont. Developed as a farm in the early 19th century, it was in continuous agricultural use by just two families for nearly two centuries. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. Description and history Top Acres Farm consists of nearly 56 acres (23 ha) of rolling pasture and woods in a rural area of southern Woodstock. Most of its land is located north of Fletcher Schoolhouse Road (formerly Fletcher Hill Road Extension), with the farmstead complex straddling the road near the southern part of the property. The main house is a rambling 1-1/2 story Greek Revival structure, built about 1850, and set on the north side of the road. Just across the road is a small sugar house. North of (behind) the house are a corn house, barn, and dairy barn, all of which date to no later than 1830, and a 20th-century chicken house. Rolling meadows and wood lots extend north from this complex. The farm was established in the first decade of the 19th century by Russell Fletcher, the son of one of South Woodstock's early settlers, who acquired several parcels of land. Although the current farmhouse dates to the mid-19th century, it is possible that one of its ells constitutes the original farmhouse. It was owned by Fletcher family members, growing in size to 400 acres (160 ha), until 1902, when it was sold to Erwin Fullerton. The farm property was used by its various owners for a variety of purposes including the raising of grain and other crops, the raising of sheep, and as a dairy operation. When the property was listed on the National Register in 2004, it was still owned by a Fullerton, but agricultural activity had ceased and the farmhouse was used as a tourist accommodation.

Abbott Memorial Library (Pomfret, Vermont)

The Abbott Memorial Library is the public library serving the village of South Pomfret, Vermont. It is located at 15 Library Street, in an architecturally distinguished building constructed in 1905 through a bequest of the local Abbott family. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. Services The Abbott Memorial Library circulating collection includes books and media, and is part of the state's interlibrary loan service. Internet service is available at the library, and it has a meeting space available for community use. Architecture and history The Abbott Memorial Library is located in the center of South Pomfret village, at the northwest corner of Library and Stage Streets. It is a single-story masonry structure, built out of brick and stone, set on a raised fieldstone foundation. It is covered by a terra cotta hip roof, with decorations at the crest, as well as at the crests of its hip dormers and the gabled entrance portico. Windows are sash, with the upper sashes having patterned glazing. The entrance portico is supported by paired Tuscan columns, which support an entablature and a gable with a half-round window in it. The library was funded through a bequest made in 1903 by Ira Abbott, a prominent local attorney, which supported the acquisition of the land and the construction of the building. The library has had state accreditation since 1999, and is funded by a combination of public and private funding. It is overseen by a board of trustees.

Gate of the Hills

The Gate of the Hills is a historic house at North and Royalton Hill Roads in Bethel, Vermont. Built about 1896, it was until 1918 home to Mary E. Waller, a prolific novelist and essayist of the early 20th century. The house is a distinctive early example of Dutch Colonial Revival architecture, probably based on designs originating in the Netherlands. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Description and history The Gate of the Hills stands at the southern fringe of a residential area south of Bethel village. It is set on a small level area north of the junction of North and Royalton Hill Roads, in a small clearing in the woods with a semicircular drive in front. The house is 2+1⁄2 stories in height, with a massive stone foundation (apparently intended to support masonry walls) and a wooden frame clad in shingles. The roof has gables at the side, and its front slope extends down to the first floor, where it shelters a recessed porch, and has three large gabled dormers above. On the rear, the roof extends only to the top of the second floor, and is slightly flared (a Dutch Colonial feature) at the base. The house was built about 1896 for Mary E. Waller and her mother; its designer and builder are not known. Waller made this her primary residence until 1918, and it was here that she wrote some of her best-known works, including the 1904 The Wood-carver o£ 'Lympus, which is set in Bethel. Although she did not write directly about the house, she occasionally wrote about its surrounding environment. The house itself is an unusual combination of American Shingle style architecture, with a number of distinctive features presaging the later Dutch Colonial Revival.

Daniel Gay House

The Belcher Memorial Library is a small public library serving the town of Stockbridge, Vermont, United States. It is located in the Daniel Gay House, an 1835 Greek Revival house built by Daniel Gay, a mill owner and namesake of the community. The building, one of the few to survive the 1927 flooding that destroyed most of the village of Gaysville was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Description and history Stockbridge's Belcher Library stands on the southeast side of Vermont Route 107, just north of its junction with Bridge Street, in the village of Gaysville. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame building, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The front facade is adorned with a Greek temple front, consisting of four smooth Doric columns rising to an entablature and fully pedimented gable. The front entrance is in the rightmost of three bays, with sash windows in the other bays, and a pair of sash windows in the gable. The small front yard is set off by a low fence on top of a fieldstone retaining wall. The library was built as a private residence in 1835 for Daniel Gay, who owned a textile mill on the White River, which Route 107 parallels. Daniel and his brother Jeremiah moved to Stockbridge in the 1820s, and built the mill in what became known as Gaysville in 1832. The mill continued to be operated by Gay family members until its destruction (along with most of the village) in Vermont's devastating 1927 floods. In 1937 the house was given by Lucia Gay for use by the Belcher Library Association. The Belcher Library Association was founded in 1896 as a vehicle for preserving the private collection of William Belcher, who had bequeathed it and an endowment for its maintenance. The association took formal title to the house in 1944. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Windsor County, Vermont References External links Belcher Library web site
Gould's Mill Bridge

The Gould's Mill Bridge is a historic Baltimore through truss bridge, carrying Paddock Street across the Black River in Springfield, Vermont. The bridge was built by the Boston Bridge Works Company in 1929 after major flooding in 1927, and is one of the state's few examples of a Baltimore truss. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. Description and history The Gould's Mill bridge stands in the village of Goulds Mill, south of the main village center of Springfield, and a short way west of the Eureka Schoolhouse. The bridge is a single-span steel Baltimore through truss structure, resting on concrete abutments. The span is 160 feet (49 m), with a roadway width of 23 feet 1 inch (7.04 m) and a portal clearance of 18 feet 6 inches (5.64 m). The Baltimore truss is a variant of the Pratt truss in which extra vertical members are added to the lower sections of each panel. The bridge carries two lanes of traffic and the Toonerville Rail Trail, and was last rehabilitated in 2009. The bridge was built in 1929, replacing a railroad bridge that was washed away in Vermont's devastating 1927 floods. The bridge has asymmetrical elements in its truss panels, due in part to its original use as a railroad bridge; this early use also mandated its skewed alignment across the river, to accommodate the rails of the Springfield Terminal Railway Company, whose route is now taken by the rail trail. It was also built for heavier loads than road bridges due to the weight of railroad engines and cargos. At the time of its listing on the National Register in 2006, it was one of two Baltimore trusses in use as a highway bridge in the state.

Ludlow Graded School

The Ludlow Graded School is a historic former school building at 10 High Street in the village of Ludlow, Vermont. Built in 1871–72, the school was for many years the primary school feeding the adjacent Black River Academy (on whose original site it stands). The building now serves as a local senior services center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Description and history The former Ludlow Graded School building stands on the south side of High Street, a short way west of the Ludlow village green. It is set between the former Black River Academy building (now a local history museum), and the Ludlow Baptist Church, separated from the road by the parking lot it shares with the academy building. It is a roughly L-shaped 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled main section facing toward the street and a cross-gabled ell extending to the east. In the crook of the L is the building's most prominent feature, a three-story square tower topped by a truncated hip roof with railing above. The main entrance is in the front of this tower, sheltered by a porch with a complex combination of shed and gabled roofs and supported by square posts. The main facade has pilastered corners and a central three-part window topped by a gabled pediment; most of the other building windows are sash. The school was built in 1871–72, originally with a 1+1⁄2-story ell. The ell was raised to its present size in 1903. The tower is a replacement of an original tower, which featured a Second Empire-style mansard roof with cresting. The school was built on the first site of the Black River Academy, which burned in 1844, and replaced a district school (located elsewhere) that was also destroyed by fire. This school served the local community until 1938, when a new school was opened on the village outskirts. In the late 1970s, the building was adapted for use as a social services center. It is owned by the Black River Historical Society, which also owns the academy building. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Windsor County, Vermont References
Jericho Rural Historic District

The Jericho Rural Historic District encompasses a rural agricultural landscape of northern Hartford, Vermont, extending slightly into neighboring Norwich. The area covers 774 acres (313 ha) of mainly agricultural and formerly agricultural lands, as well as associated woodlots, and includes nine historically significant farm complexes. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Description and history The Jericho Street area is a rural upland, roughly bounded on the south by the White River and the east by the flood plains of the Connecticut River. To the west it is roughly bounded by Jericho Brook, and the north by the east–west town line between Norwich and Hartford, except for one associated farm complex just over the line on Joshua Street. The area is served by roads whose routes were laid out in the late 19th century, when the area was first settled. Jericho Street runs north–south through the district, turning eastward near the northern end, with Wallace and Sugartop Roads running westward, and Jericho Road eastward. All but two of the historic farm complexes are found along Jericho Street; in addition to the one on Joshua, another is located on the west side of Sugartop, just south of the Norwich line. The distribution of wooded and open areas is relatively unchanged since about 1940. The town of Hartford was first settled in the 1760s, with its early settlements along the Connecticut River. The Jericho Hill area was settled beginning in 1781, and the last of its historic farmsteads was built in 1841. All of the early farmsteads were simple Cape style houses, and were soon accompanied by agricultural outbuildings. The Jericho Hill area contains a remarkable set of contiguous historic farm properties, in which a relatively large number of outbuildings have survived, although not always in the best of condition. The district also includes a district schoolhouse, built in 1849, which still stands near the junction of Jericho Street and Jericho Road, and functions now as a local community center.

Ottauquechee River Bridge

The Ottauquechee River Bridge is a steel girder bridge carrying United States Route 5 across the Ottauquechee River in Hartland, Vermont. The bridge replaced a c. 1930 Warren deck truss bridge, built in the wake of Vermont's devastating 1927 floods, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Location The bridge is located in a rural section of northern Hartland, spanning the Ottauquechee River a short way downstream from the North Hartland Dam. United States Route 5 is a major roadway providing local access along the Connecticut River, and is roughly paralleled by Interstate 91 to the east. Historic bridge The bridge built in 1930 was a four-span structure, mounted on concrete piers and abutments. The piers featured rusticated and rounded ends, with an arch between the I-beam spans on the northernmost pier. It measured 274 feet (84 m) in length, with three approach spans made of steel I-beams and a main span of Warren trusses measuring 120 feet (37 m). The guardrail was composed of T-shaped stanchions connected by decorative metal latticework. One of 1,600 bridges constructed by the state following the 1927 floods, it was also one of only four Warren deck truss structures built at that time. When the bridge was listed on the National Register in 1990, a nearly identical bridge stood in Bethel, spanning a branch of the White River.

Glimmerstone

Glimmerstone is a historic mansion house on Vermont Route 131, west of the village center of Cavendish, Vermont. Built 1844–47, it is a distinctive example of Gothic Revival architecture, built using a regional construction style called "snecked ashlar" out of locally quarried stone flecked with mica. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Description and history Glimmerstone stands on the north side of Vermont 131, about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) west of Cavendish's village center. It is a two-story stone structure, with a roughly L-shaped plan and a cross-gable roof configuration. The street-facing front is divided into four sections, the rightmost one projecting with a hooded gable and bay windows on the both levels. The second bay has a three-sash window group, with a steeply pitched gable dormer above, and the main entrance is in the third bay, sheltered by a gabled porch. All of the building's gables are decorated with jigsawn vergeboard, and upper-level windows set in gable dormers have Gothic-arched tops. Similar dormers and gables are found on the sides of the house, and a wood-frame ell extends the house further to the rear. The house was built in 1844-47 for Henry Fullerton, manager of the Black River Manufacturing and Canal Company mill in Cavendish. The stone from which it was built was quarried about 0.25 miles (0.40 km) away, and hauled to the site by sledge in winter for construction in warmer weather. The construction style consists of stone facing on either side of rubble fill, with slabs sometimes laid across the fill to provide strength. This construction method, known in southern Vermont as "snecked ashlar", is believed to have been brought to the area by Scottish immigrant masons. The house's design is by a local carpenter, Lucius Paige, and is based on designs published by Andrew Jackson Downing.
