Galusha House, Federal-style house in Jericho, United States.
Galusha House is a brick residence built in the Federal style, standing at the corner of Vermont Route 15 and Lee River Road. It features original wooden details and carefully crafted fireplaces that define its interior character.
The house was built in 1790 and became associated with the Galusha family, who played a role in Vermont's early political life. It was added to the National Register in 1978 and underwent major restoration work from 1981 to 1982.
The house displays design choices common among prominent Vermont families of its era and shows how wealthy households organized their living spaces during the early American period. The interior details reflect the tastes and daily habits of people from that time.
The house stands at the junction of Vermont Route 15 and Lee River Road, at the entrance to Jericho Corners Village, on a large sloping lawn. It is privately owned and was completely restored in 1982, so it is seen from the road rather than visited inside. Jericho lies near Burlington.
The house appears on H. F. Walling's 1857 county map, captioned "Residence of Hon. Truman Galusha"; the 1869 Beers atlas labels it "FAIRVIEW" and names R. L. Galusha, Truman's son Russell Loomis Galusha, as occupant. Truman's brother Elon Galusha was the first president of the Baptist Anti-Slavery Society.
