What still stands from between 1869 and 1877 in
Burlington, Vermont?
365 St. Paul
Street
The 1873-1874 Burlington City Directory refers to this
building as “Sutton’s Block.” It was built circa 1870[1]
as a tenement house. Elliot Sutton was a Democratic politician who owned a few
properties around Burlington. He was elected Mayor of Burlington in 1898 and
was elected to the State senate in 1902. Some of the building’s
Italianate details can still be seen at the eaves and entrance hoods. These
details are similar to those that remain on Sutton’s former house, 375
St. Paul Street.[2]
