Warner Home, orphanage in St. Albans, Vermont
The Warner Home is a three-story brick building constructed in 1902 at the corner of High Street and Isham Avenue in St. Albans. It features a large two-story porch supported by tall fluted columns and detailed woodwork that reflects its Colonial Revival style.
The Warner Home was built in 1902 following a substantial gift from Chauncey Warner of Cambridge after the original ornate building burned down at the start of the 20th century. It operated as an orphanage for decades and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
The Warner Home served as a community refuge where children without parents found care and belonging. This mission of support for young people continues today through scholarships and grants, keeping the spirit of community help alive.
The building sits in a central location in St. Albans and is easy to find and access. Visitors can appreciate the exterior architecture and design from the street, as the property spans roughly 1 1/4 acres (0.5 hectares).
The Warner Home was converted into condominiums in 1987, with careful restoration of its original room layouts and central lobby. This transformation shows how historic buildings can take on new life while keeping their past alive.
