From the Saint Albans Register: “The three-story Riviere Hotel, also once known as the Adams Hotel or Adams House Hotel, had served as a hotel since the 1800s before ultimately falling into disrepair. Swanton Village had purchased the building for about $30,000 earlier this year with the aim of eventually redeveloping the former hotel, nowContinue reading “Adam’s Hotel/Riviere Hotel WILL BE DEMOLISHED!”

Abandoned Farmstead?
I saw this abandoned farmstead as I was returning from filming. All I can tell you is that it’s on Route 14. Otherwise, I would be guessing as to its location. Behind the house and barn were another house and some other building, as I recall. Someone is using the back porch to stack andContinue reading “Abandoned Farmstead?”
Abandoned and Decaying House
This house had been owned by Larry Lockerby who was a taxidermist. He ran a taxidermy business from this house. There may have been an apartment on the second floor at some point. Mr. Lockerby had moved to New York and worked for the Department of Fish and Wildlife. He again had a taxidermy business.Continue reading “Abandoned and Decaying House”
ABANDONED Sand Bar Inn
From Seven Days VT: ‘”Conventional wisdom holds that the first three rules for choosing commercial real estate are location, location and location. If that’s the case, what’s the deal with the old Sand Bar Inn, a long-vacant motel on the west side of the Sandbar Causeway in South Hero? If ever a spot were primeContinue reading “ABANDONED Sand Bar Inn”
Abandoned Shed in Graveyard
This shed is one of three located inside the Georgia Plain Cemetery in Georgia, Vermont. Its front door may have a board screwed over it, but the side door is missing. There’s a hole in a portion of the roof. I liked the strong wooden shelving in the corner. I do wonder why they don’tContinue reading “Abandoned Shed in Graveyard”
Abandoned Train Station
Join me as I offer a walkaround of this interesting and abandoned train station. That bumped out building portion with windows was very likely used to sell tickets. Note the burnt parts on half the building! I am inclined to believe I was in Dorset, Vermont and this may have been the train station calledContinue reading “Abandoned Train Station”
Abandoned Barns in Vermont
I have driven by these buildings for some time now. Still know nothing about them beyond their location. I do wonder why the land behind them is mowed and these structures are left alone. That said, there does appear to be newer metal doors on the front of the place on the far left. AContinue reading “Abandoned Barns in Vermont”
Abandoned House?
According to a variety of real estate sites, this is either a single family or multi-family home. No idea if it is currently occupied. It certainly looks abandoned, given not only the building’s condition, but the lack of lawn care.
Receiving Vault with Shelves and Working Rollers!!
The first burial in Lake View Cemetery was in 1799. There are 1286 graves. Although it is across from St. Genevieve Cemetery, it is otherwise surrounded by empty land. “A receiving vault or receiving tomb,[1] sometimes also known as a public vault, is a structure designed to temporarily store dead bodies in winter months whenContinue reading “Receiving Vault with Shelves and Working Rollers!!”
Old Mill and Dam: Slate History Trail
“Little Hazard Brook once powered sawmills and slate mills as it wound its way from Glen Lake, or Screwsriver Pond, to Lake Bomoseen. From the sawmill, Hazard Brook ran underground to the waterwheel in the slate mill. An old outlet near the Barlow house may have furnished water power for earlier mills. “-Bomoseen State ParkContinue reading “Old Mill and Dam: Slate History Trail”
