Colchester Avenue is located due north of the University of Vermont's campus, curving then heading west towards East Avenue. It has primarily been a residential neighborhood with a few commercial businesses occupying what used to be residential. The building footprints highlighted are those that can be viewed within the McAllister photos in the following links.
