The house was built in the late 1850s, as a two-family residence. The original owner of #20, Charles Benns sold the house and lot in 1865 to Burnham Seaver, a carpenter and builder (1). After her husband's death in the 1880s, Seaver's widow remained at 20 North Winooski Avenue until 1892 (2). J. Richards originally owned the other half of the building (3), and from 1874 until 1892, Dr. Sylvanus Humphrey, a physician, resided here.

This house, originally built as a two-family residence, combines several different architectural styles. The rectangular block massing shows classical influences, while the two-door entrance features an Italianate bracketed cornice and clustered columns (4). By 1889, separate ells were added to each apartment and later joined in the 1930s (5). The original clapboards have been replaced with aluminum siding, but the slate roof and two over two, sash windows remain. This building is currently divided into four apartments.

The house at this address was probably built c. 1864, originally as the home of John Liscum, who also owned the adjacent house to the north (1). These two buildings remained in the Liscum, commercially active family, well into the 1890s. Dr. August Radlike and his wife, Emilie, were the next residents from 1900 well into the first quarter of the twentieth century (2).

This two and one-half story building is a late vernacular example of the Greek Revival style, representative of the middle-class development of Winooski Ave (3). While still a slate roof, gable-front façade, this building differs from others in the area by the use of bearing wall, brick construction. The bracketed, pediment above the door combines details of the Greek Revival and Italianate styles, popular at the time of construction. The residence has since undergone several additions, as early as 1889 (4), and is currently used as multiple apartments.

This house was built in the late 1850s. Little is known about its earliest residents, Miss A.E. Munsun 91) or Harriet Daniels. Real estate records show the transfer of a white house and lot in 1867-68 from Harriet Daniels to Simon F. Fitts, the owner of a Church Street saloon. Fitts resided here until 1872 (2). After the Civil War, George W. Whitney, and employee of S. Huntington and Co. booksellers, became the owner, and his family retained the property until 1900 (3). In 1860, resident Fred Meyers opened a funeral parlor here. The current use remains as a funeral home, although the name has changed to Boucher & Pritchard (4).

This house has undergone many alterations and additions from before 1889 until 1940 (5). By that time, the house was divided into four apartments. After 1977, a large extension was added to the rear, almost doubling the size of the original structure. Vinyl replacement windows and aluminum siding have contributed to the extensive alteration of this building.

The house at 84 N. Winooski Street was probably built in the late 1850s, with original occupant, Oliver Beaupre, as early as 1862 (1). This ship carpenter probably built the post and beam, Greek Revival style home for himself. Beaupre lived in the house until his death in 1880, and his descendants retained ownership until 1937 (2).

This three-bay, gable front, clapboard home is a vernacular interpretation of the Greek Revival style, with a pedimented entrance and cornice returns. By 1889, two, one-story ells and the side entry porch were added (3). Others additions have been added from 1942 until the present, including several additional entrances on the south façade (4). The site is currently divided into many apartments.

This house was built between 1862 and 1869 (1). The owner, A.S. Mears, was a painter and photographer who lived at 136 North Winooski (2). Mears may have used this space as a studio or store. As early as 1881, Mears may have built a second structure at 132 N. Winooski, south of his home where he ran a variety store. He sold the northern portion of his property by 1886, when 138 N. Winooski was used to house the fire department, Star House #2. By 1898, the building was converted to a schoolhouse (3). The building is currently used as a store and home to a local union.

This gable front building, although similar to its neighbors in style, is significantly taller, possibly due to its use as a firehouse. By 1889, a one-story, gable roof addition was added (4). The original fenestration has also been altered due to the drastically different changes in use (5).
