This is a short history of a section of Burlington, Vermont. The UVM Historic Preservation students of the class of 2004 were given the task of researching structures in Burlington to find out which buildings constructed between 1853 and 1869 are still standing today. This section of Burlington was the center of commerce during this time. The waterfront was used for shipping and the booming lumber business.
