THE GOLDEN FLEECE.
A History Of the Building In Which
the Journal Oiilce is Located.

One of the notable buildings of the
city is the Golden Fleece from which
the Morning Journal is published
Its Importance does not come from
age but from the notable events that
have been held there.
1t was erected for a skating rink
and bowling alley in the spring Of
1884 by l.. Bart Cross, W. A. Stow
ell and d. A. Guptil, the partnership
being known as d. A. Guptil e
Co. After the roller skating craze
disappeared the building was occu-
pied for a time by Webster, Hall g..
Taplin as a furniture store. Jo-
honnotts G. Hall have succeeded to
the interests of that firm.
The building continued in the
hands of the partners who erected it
until 1885, when Mr.. Cross bought
out his associates and remained the
owner until he sold it to the city in
1907. After securing sole control he
moved the building back from the
street 165 feet, raised it 16 feet, built
a solid brick wall for the lower floor
and a veneer wall for the upper, i'm
proved the architectural appearance
and fitted up the upper floor for an
armory for Company H, V. n. G., for
which purpose it is still used G.
F. Buswell moved his printing es-
tablishment to the lower floor and it
still remains there, though sold about
a year ago to the Capital City Press.
From this office was published in
1897 the Montpelier Daily Record,
the progenitor of the Journal. Mr.
Buswell was the publisher and bus
mess manager and F. e. Howe, now
publisher of the Bennington Banner,
was editor The Record, after a short
career, was sold to the Watchman
Publishing Company. renamed the
Journal, and was continued as an
afternoon paper until the present
management assumed control.
The armory on the upper floor IS
the largest and finest in the State
The main hall is 13Ox50 feet and in
| it and it's spacious galleries $500 peo-
pie can be seated. On the same floor
are cloak and dining rooms and the
parlor of Company H. The acoustic
properties of the hall are remarkably =
fine and it is one of the easiest halls
| In the State for public speaker.
! Here was held the Republican
State convention that turned the
tide toward Mckinley in 1896, by
showing him that New England del
egates would support his ambitions
Here was held the celebration o
Dewey's victory at Manila, the mem
orial services for President McKin
! 'ey, the meeting that raised funds t,
aid the Cubans before the Spanish
war opened, the convention that re
suited in the famous Clement bolt o
1902, the convention that nominated
Proctor in 1906; here Bryan spoke OF
his first visit to Vermont, here arr
held the Governors ball, various re
unions and banquets of the Fish an(
Game League.
The building was sold to the cit,
May IA, 1907, and will probably con
tinue to be used as an armory an.
