Emma Willard House, 19th century historic house at Middlebury College, US.
The Federal-style brick building features a hip roof, granite window lintels, and two-and-a-half-story configuration at 131 South Main Street in Middlebury.
In 1814, Emma Willard established the Middlebury Female Seminary in this house, leading educational reform by teaching mathematics, classics, and geography to female students.
The house represents a turning point in American education as it became the starting place for equal educational opportunities for women in the early 1800s.
The Emma Willard House now serves as the Middlebury College Admissions Office, welcoming prospective students and their families throughout the academic year.
The property spans 2.1 acres and contains original architectural elements from 1809, including sidelight windows and a transom at the main entrance.
