During the second half of the nineteenth-century, the property consisted of a c.1850 house and associated agricultural outbuildings. In the mid-1880s, the owner, A.B. “Bart” Chadburn, converted the farmhouse into a tourist home/inn known as the Green Mountain Cottage. Today, Green Mountain Cottage is a two-story, eaves front, wood- frame dwelling with a two-story wing. During its eighty years in operation as an inn, the owners updated the building several times to meet the needs of their guests and the business. These improvements included adding a second story to the main block in the late nineteenth-century and a second story to the wing in the 1940s. Additional improvements included changing the interior floor plan to add more rooms, public gathering areas, and dining areas. While many of the agricultural outbuildings were demolished, a c. 1860 gable-front barn remains on the property directly across the street from the house. Within the context of its use as a tourist home, Green Mountain Cottage retains a high degree of integrity of location, setting, design, materials, feeling, workmanship, and association. ______________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description 1.

The Section 7 page 4 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Green Mountain Cottage Rutland County, Vermont Name of Property County and State approximately 3,600 square foot building has a moderate setback and is oriented parallel to Church Street. Extending from the east gable end is a two-story, wood clapboarded, 5 x 2 bay wing. The gable roof has open eaves with a simple wood fascia board. Fenestration includes 1/1, 2/2, and 2/1 replacement windows with simple wood trim. Exterior: Main Block Centered on the first story of the front (south) elevation is an entry door flanked by two 1/1 windows on each side. The wood door has two arched sunken wood panels that cap a sunken horizontal wood panel. The door is capped by a sunken wood-paneled transom and simple entablature. A full porch spans the first story of the front elevation. The porch has turned balustrade, square posts with scrolled brackets, and a wood skirt with vertical wood slats. Centered on the second story of the south elevation is a one-bay balcony porch sheltered by a gable roof. The balcony porch has turned balustrade, a spindlework frieze, and square posts with scrolled brackets. A half glass, wood panel door accesses the balcony porch. Two evenly spaced, 2/2 windows flank the balcony porch, in line with the windows on the first story. Unlike the front elevation, which is perfectly symmetrical, the rear (north) elevation contains a variety of asymmetrically-placed windows and doors. The first story features an entry at the western bay with a variety of windows occupying the remaining bays. From the east to west, the first story bays contain a small 1/1 window, a large 1/1 window, two bays of small 1/1 windows, and a pedestrian entry with a wood-paneled door. The two interior small windows are infill units and the larger, original wood trim remains. The second story of the north elevation has five windows. The two end windows are evenly spaced while the middle window is slightly offset from the other window arrangements. The west gable end has an off-center brick exterior chimney that gradually tapers from each side and is capped with a corbelled crown. The chimney is flanked by a pair of 1/1 windows to the north and a single 1/1 window to the south on the first story, and a single 1/1 window on each side at the second story. Centered at the west gable peak is a 2/2 historic wood window. Exterior: Wing Clad in wood clapboards, the wing rests on a concrete foundation. It was initially a 1½ story, summer kitchen wing. It was enlarged c.1947 with the extension of the footprint eastward and the addition of a half-story. The front (south) elevation of the wing is set back approximately
