94-106 Maple Street, Burlington, Vermont USA • SO much to like! ∞ French Second Empire; seven row houses each 2-1/2 stories, 3 bays with side hall entrances and entrance porches, double leaf doors with transom lights and covered by an elaborated patterned imbricated slate mansard roof which is not continued on the rear elevation. Each section has a central shed dormer and rear ell. Slate sidewalks are laid in front of the block, Number 94 Maple Street having a marble slab in front of the steps as well. The slate roof and sidewalks reflect the fact that the owner and builder of the block was Loomis P. Smith, son of Horace W. Smith builder and slater. Loomis was involved in the father's business as well as being Burlington's Constable in 1889, and a reputedly rich gambler. – From the Nomination Form for the NRHP, by Gina Campoli and Karen Czaikowski, December 1983.
☞ This building is one of 120 contributing structures (and one object) of the 350 acre Battery Street Historic District, and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places (#77000098), since November 2, 1977.
The total number of row houses in Burlington (not counting modern condos) can be reckoned on the fingers of one hand. This large building with its 16 apartments is one of the more interesting examples. Built in 1885 by Horace W. Smith & Son, the mansard slate roof is worthy of note, as Smith, a slater, used this roof as a permanent outdoor billboard to advertise the varied patterns, colors and designs available from his firm.
