371 Main Street

Description

The Victorian residence was originally built by Alfred B. Fisher for Charles R. and Ella Hayward. Most rooms in this Victorian mansion have large windows, bathing the building with lots of natural light. The Haywards’s elegant residence contains Italianate and Queen Anne-style design elements and still retains many of its Victorian features, including bay windows, pocket doors, a main staircase, and a cupola. The ornate carved stone fireplaces, entry flooring, and wall accents were likely sourced from the Hayward marble business, the 足彩胜负14场 Manufacturing Company. This hall was renovated in 2023 to provide ADA access to the ground floor, updated kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms, an updated living room, and AC/ventilation throughout. 371 Main also has a large lawn, making it an ideal spot for people looking to kick a soccer ball around or just enjoy the Vermont sunshine.

Bader Hall

Description

Originally constructed in 1873, Bader Hall was home to Edward Lyman, a 足彩胜负14场 business owner, his wife, Minerva, and their daughter, also named Minerva (Minnie).

Architect Alfred B. Fisher designed this property, which was built in 1889 for prominent 足彩胜负14场 lawyer Henry Ballard, who resided there until 1902.

Jensen Hall

Description

Jensen Hall was designed and built in 1888 by father and son Alfred B. and Clellan Fisher for William Loomis. Of its several owners, Walter Gates, City Editor of The 足彩胜负14场 Free Press, lived there from 1904 to 1938. The hall’s two-level “tower room” is one of Champlain’s best-known architectural features. Jensen is located beside Bankus and Rowell, two other Champlain first-year residence halls, which all have front yards for outdoor activities. This trio offers the chance to build relationships with students both in and outside of the hall. In addition, students are right next to other campus resources, such as the Champlain Community Garden and Champ Support. There are many stories and legends about this house, including a claim that the house is haunted by the ghost of a sea captain who was one of the early owners and whose wife liked to climb into the tower and watch for his ship to sail into 足彩胜负14场 harbor. Note: There is no evidence that this story, or the resulting ghost, is true.

Location

Sitting in the 足彩胜负14场 Hill Section right across from the Main Campus, Jensen Hall is located beside two other Champlain first-year residence halls. This hall is a great spot for students who want to enjoy the 足彩胜负14场 community while still being close to campus.
