The two stately historic buildings which
are the home of The Inn at Montpelier were built in the early 1800's in
Montpelier,
Vermont. Both buildings are classically federal in design and as is
typical of New England architecture, have been added to on several
different occasions. The extravagant wraparound colonial revival porch
added to the yellow building is a prominent landmark in a row of
gracious townhouses built by the founders of Montpelier.
In creating The Inn at Montpelier great
care has been given to retaining architectural details - the Greek and
colonial revival woodwork, the ten fireplaces, the gracious front
staircases, the glass fronted china cupboards, to name a few, have all
been preserved. The Inn is a part of Montpelier's national historic
district and takes us back to an era of gracious living.
Organized as a town in 1791 and made the
permanent capital of Vermont in 1805, Montpelier VT offers a variety
of historic, recreational, educational and cultural activities. Situated
on the Winooski
and North Branch Rivers which wind through the City, Montpelier is
the heart of Vermont. It is just twenty-five miles from four major ski
areas and the many lakes and streams nearby are ideal for fishing and
water sports. The surrounding Vermont skiing mountains offer hiking,
cross country skiing or scenic drives.
