267 N. Winooski Avenue

This one-and-one-half story, three-by-three bay, gable front house sits along the west side of North Winooski Avenue, near Archibald Street.  The house features one-over-one, double hung sash windows, aluminum siding, stone foundation, slate roof with raking eaves, and a tall chimney rising from the ground at the southwest corner of the house.  Entrance is on the left side of the front facade, via a porch with shingled halfwall extending along the front.  The porch is covered with shingles and the posts are Neo-Classical.  A large, single-story, flat roof addition extends from the rear. 

The addition appears on the 1894 Sanborn map, but the porch does not appear on the early maps.  The Neo-Classical columns indicate a later addition, as it is not consistent with design trends of the 1870s.  The porch does appear on the 1978 Sanborn map, but was most likely much earlier than that.

Nazaire Bellisle was mostly likely the first inhabitant, in 1873.¹  Nazaire was a gardener and worked for B.S. Nichols and Company, and he lived at this address with his wife Charlotte until his death December 21, 1909.²  Charlotte moved out at the time, as well.³
