Vermont Building
The Vermont Building is a six-story factory in Boston's North End, built in 1904 with brick walls and marble details. It was designed by architects Arthur H. Bowditch and Edward B. Stratton and features ornate carved stone and brick decorations.
The building was constructed in 1904 and originally served light manufacturing, storage, and ground-floor retail shops. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, recognizing its importance to Boston's industrial history.
The building takes its name from Redfield Proctor, a U.S. Senator from Vermont who funded it as a personal project. The marble details in its facade connect this place to Vermont's marble quarrying and processing tradition, which was highly valued in the early 20th century.
The building is located in the North End neighborhood and is easily accessible on foot or by public transit. Since it has been converted into loft apartments, the interior is not open to the public, but you can appreciate the exterior from the street.
The Vermont Marble Company used part of the building to process marble, creating a direct link to the state's quarrying and processing industry. Today it stands as a rare example of how a historic industrial site was successfully transformed into modern residential lofts.
