Greenwood House

Greenwood House is a residential building in Chester that combines Greek Revival elements with Queen Anne style features. The exterior displays symmetrical proportions and decorative details that blend both architectural approaches into one structure.

The house was built in 1850 during a transitional period when Greek Revival and Queen Anne styles coexisted in American residential design. This era showed how home design preferences were shifting across the country during the mid-19th century.

The National Register of Historic Places designation of Greenwood House reflects its role in preserving Vermont's architectural and residential development patterns.

The building sits in Chester's historic district and is easily visible from the street. Visitor details and access information are available through the town's local heritage organizations.

The building displays both styles integrated into the same design elements rather than simply separated into different facade areas. Such fully transitional houses are less commonly found than structures that clearly committed to one style.
