Burlington
1877
What still stands from between 1869 and 1877 in
Burlington, Vermont?
57-59 Lafountain
Street
Shown above is another prime example of a typical working
class family house in the North End. It was built circa 1877. This
building’s massing is a bit larger than that of the workers houses on
Allen Street. The first owner of this home was Oliver Garrow[1],
who worked for T.A. Wheelock[2],
a plumbing company. Although this building has been added to, the building’s original form is still
apparent. The additions look to have been at different times because the structure
that is further back matches the house more accurately. A Sites and Structures
Survey listed the style of this building as Italianate because it had brackets
in the eaves of the gable ends and supporting the entrance hood, however these
have since been removed.
