DIFFERENCES IN SITE NUMBERS USED IN PUBLISHED TOWN HISTORY AND VERMONT HISTORIC SITES & STRUCTURES SURVEY Addison County PLEASE NOTE CAREFULLY: The site numbers on the maps and lists of historic properties in the published town history following this page DO NOT correspond to the Vermont Historic Sites and Structures Survey (VHSSS) numbers on the individual survey forms in this town survey. The Vermont Division for Historic Preservation conducted a resurvey of all historic properties in each town in Addison County in preparation for the publication of a county history in 1992. New historic sites were added to the VHSSS, but a new VHSSS survey form was not filled out for each new site, as the information was entered directly into a computer database. Therefore not all sites in the published history have a corresponding VHSSS form. For the town history publication all historic sites, from both the original survey and the resurvey, were assigned new numbers for the published maps and lists. The new numbering system for the publication starts in the upper left hand (NW) corner of each town and proceeds sequentially from left to right, top to bottom, or clockwise around the map. For those towns in which further surveying was done after the initial publication map numbering was completed, there may be some scattered map numbers that are out of sequence. To see if a property in the published history also has a VHSSS form, compare the maps in the published history with the VHSSS maps. If the location you are interested in has a number marked on both maps, the building has a VHSSS form. • THE HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE OF ADDISON COUNTY VERMONT STATE REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES RIPTON VERMONT DIVISION FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION THE HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE Structures referred to in the text that are listed in the State OF ADDISON COUNTY Register of Historic Places are identified by a number or Including a listing of street address in parenthesis corresponding to the Register listings and maps immediately following each town history. the Vermont State Register of Historic Places The list uses standardized terms to provide information on readily identifiable exterior features of Register sites.

The complete volume contains a short history of Addison County, chapters for each town in the county, and a guide to Vermont architecture. An abbreviated version of the architecture guide is found on the back cover of this pamphlet. The town chapters use historic architecture to tell the developmental history of each town from the first years of white settlement to World War II. Most of the photographs are contemporary to show the historic structures as they stand today. Sources used to prepare this book are listed in the select bibliography found in the complete county volume. CAUTION Most of the historic structures included in the town histories are privately owned and are not open to the public. When viewing, please be courteous.

    Here Were Many Mighty Works & a Great Outpouring of the Spirit So That I Prophesied and Entered Into the Kingdom Celestial

    1938 Letters • 173 [picture postcard: Angel Moroni Monument, Hill Cumorah, near Palmyra, New York]34 [postmarked Hudson, NY, 27 July 1938] Here were many mighty works & a great outpouring of the spirit so that I prophesied and entered into the Kingdom Celestial. B Walpole, New Hampshire. [2(?) September 1938] Dear Kate: Hell no. One manuscript more wouldn’t even be perceptible in the heap I’ve read through in the last two weeks. I trust the comment is full enough. I’d expand it to three-quarters of an hour at Bread Loaf but I wouldn’t say any more. The gospel accord- ing to DeVoto (Uncle Belly as the psychopathology of everyday life made the speaker of the evening call me on Tuesday night) is just this: a story is about one thing, a story is developed, a story is dramatized. It was a good conference, the best yet by a Mormon block. Primarily because there were some writers there. Theodore Strauss, Harriet Hassell, Josephine Niggly, a gent named Ford, another one named Turtellot, all Bread Loaf Fellows, were pretty good, and Strauss is going to be better than that.35 (He did “A Night at Hogwallow,” which I didn’t give a prize in the L-B novelette contest.)36 But the nicest Fellow, and one who is going to go farther than the rest of them except Strauss, is Elizabeth Davis, a very pretty child from Michigan with one of those voices, like Josephine’s in MT, whose teleology is to knock me for a row of nostalgic heartbreaks.37 Someone wrote me about a long story of hers in Good Housekeeping, called “Fourteenth Summer,” and it turned out to be damned good.

In addition, we are very grateful for the feedback of our fellow ENVI 302 classmates and the absolute well-spring of knowledge that was our professor, Hank Art. We would like to thank Professor Art not only for guiding us through the project but also for the dedication to learning and the love for the outdoors he has shown throughout his tenure here at Williams. Finally, we are thankful for the existence of HMF and the role it has had in letting us escape the occasionally relentless pace of studies and overall improving our college experience to an immeasurable degree. 1 Table of Contents: I.

  • Kilimandjaro

    Kilimandjaro

    1 Kilimandjaro L e Kilimandjaro ou Kilimanjaro est une montagne située au nord-est de la Tanzanie et composée de trois volcans éteints : le Shira à l'ouest, culminant à 3 962 mètres d'altitude, le Mawenzi à l'est, s'élevant à 5 149 mètres d'altitude, et le Kibo, le plus récent géologiquement, situé entre les deux autres et dont le pic Uhuru à 5 891,8 mètres d'altitude constitue le point culminant de l'Afrique. Outre cette caractéristique, le Kilimandjaro est connu pour sa calotte glaciaire sommitale en phase de retrait accéléré depuis le début du XX e siècle et qui devrait disparaître totalement d'ici 2020 à 2050. La baisse des précipitations neigeuses qui en est responsable est souvent attribuée au réchauffement climatique mais la déforestation est également un facteur majeur. Ainsi, malgré la création du parc national en 1973 et alors même qu'elle joue un rôle essentiel dans la régulation bioclimatique du cycle de l'eau, la ceinture forestière continue à se resserrer. En effet, la montagne est notamment le berceau des pasteurs masaï au nord et à l'ouest qui ont besoin de prairies d'altitude pour faire paître leurs troupeaux et des cultivateurs wachagga au sud et à l'est qui cultivent des parcelles toujours plus étendues sur les piémonts, malgré une prise de conscience depuis le début du XXIe siècle. Après la surprise engendrée dans le milieu scientifique avec sa découverte contemporaine par Johannes Rebmann en 1848, le Kilimandjaro a éveillé l'intérêt des explorateurs comme Hans Meyer et Ludwig Purtscheller qui parviennent au sommet en 1889 accompagnés de leur guide Yohanas Kinyala Lauwo.
  • How Middlebury College Conserved Its Bread Loaf Campus

    How Middlebury College Conserved Its Bread Loaf Campus

    From Frost to Forests How Middlebury College permanently protected its iconic Bread Loaf campus for future generations A case study for ALPINE (Academics for Land Protection in New England) By Katie Michels, Kevin Fleming, and Isabella Gambill - Spring 2017 Autumn Panorama, Bread Loaf Campus (Brett Simison) “We aren’t doing this for ourselves. We already have Bread Loaf. We are doing this for future generations.” – Mike Schoenfeld, Middlebury College Senior Vice President and Chief Philanthropic Advisor. Middlebury is a residential liberal arts college in Vermont. That Middlebury is known for its leadership in environmental education, action, and sustainability has much to do with its deep sense of, and commitment to, place. Middlebury hosts a professional graduate program in Monterey, CA; Schools Abroad in seventeen countries; immersive summer Language Schools and School of the Environment; and the renowned Bread Loaf School of English and Writers’ Conferences at Bread Loaf mountain campus in Ripton, Vermont. The main Middlebury campus, situated in the shadow of the Green Mountains, is inextricably tied to place. Whether students study with Middlebury for a semester, 10 weeks in the summer, or four years, none of them leave unchanged. They are shaped by place as much as the knowledge that they acquire. Middlebury’s Mission Statement (2006 - present) reflects both this connection and commitment: “At Middlebury College we challenge students to participate fully in a vibrant and diverse academic community. The College's Vermont location offers an inspirational setting for learning and reflection, reinforcing our commitment to integrating environmental stewardship into both our curriculum and our practices on campus.” It was owing to this long institutional commitment to place and the environment that, in 2015, the College permanently protected its unique 2,100-acre Bread Loaf campus through a conservation easement.
