The St. Johnsbury Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) presents: BRANTVIEW: An Architectural and Social History by Architectural Historian Allen Hodgdon Thursday, October 4, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. at Catamounts Arts, Eastern Avenue St. Johnsbury.
Brantview has long been a boys' dormitory at St. Johnsbury Academy, but was the home of William Paddock and Rebecca Pyle Fairbanks. Their son, Col. Joseph Fairbanks, gifted Brantview to St. Johnsbury Academy in 1931. Mr. Hodgdon will tell us about Brantview's contribution to the broader patterns of 19th century American Architecture.
