Vermont Farmhouse Project

Burtch-Udall House Tour Video

Bob joins University of Vermont professor Tom Visser at the Burtch-Udall House, a classic Federal-period house constructed in Quechee in 1785. The house is known locally as the Theron Boyd House. The main part of the house has gone through very few changes and still has the original windows, clapboard siding, even the original nails. A back ell extends behind the home - a 1820s brick addition in the 1820s Federal style with a row of four elliptical, arched openings. The first opened into the woodshed while the other were carriage bays. The back ell was originally a two-story structure but the second floor was destroyed when lightning struck the building in 1936. The house is another nice example of "connected" architecture in the sense that it extends from the main house to a kitchen addition to a workroom to a woodshed and then out to a storage room.
