The Development of North and
South Winooski Avenues:
North to Main Streets, 1833 to 1853

Winooski Avenue changed greatly during the period 1830 to 1853. The area of what is now North Winooski Avenue between Pearl and North Streets had one possible building identified for the 1830 project. By 1853, twenty one structures had been built that remain standing today. If you include the four structures on Grant Street, the count is twenty five. This is indicative of the rapid growth occurring in the Burlington area in this period. The residences constructed on North Winooski Avenue were for Burlington's burgeoning middle class. By the turn of the century, this area was changing along with the rest of the Old North End. Working class families replaced middle class merchants and professionals. Many of the residences were divided into apartments. This trend continues today with many of the buildings a shadow of their former selves.
