204 N. Winooski Avenue

This two-story, gable front, ell plan house sits along the east side of North Winooski Avenue near North Union Street.  The house features two-over-two, double hung sash windows, aluminum siding, stone foundation, asphalt shingle roof with raking eaves, and a small, central chimney.  The entrance is found beneath a porch roof at the intersection of the ells.  One addition extends off the back of the house.

The raking eaves, stone foundation and small, central chimney are all characteristic of the 1870s.  The house still has two-over-two sash windows, but they appear to be newer.  The asphalt shingles and aluminum siding have replaced the original slate and clapboards.

The rear addition first appears on the 1894 Sanborn map.  Aside from the siding, this house has undergone little change.

No information could be found regarding the original occupants.  The first known occupants were most likely Dennis Greaney and Nicholas J. Tuite, in 1881.¹  Dennis manufactured gentlemen’s fine custom boots and shoes at 17 Church Street, and Nicholas worked at the Free Press Association.²  Both  men stayed until around 1885.³  The 1890 Hopkins map lists Mrs. N. Barstow as the owner, yet she never resided here, probably renting to tenants.⁴
