This Greek Revival house with the long side porch is at least as early as 1853 since it appears on the Presdee & Edwards map of Burlington produced that year, as the property of Judge Asahel Peck who may have used it as a rental investment. Judge Peck was later to be the governor of Vermont. From circa 1865-1890 it was the residence of Newell Lawrence, who was a teammaster. Judd Williams, who was in the well-drilling business, acquired the house in 1899 and his descendants were still living there in the late 1970's when the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation surveyed N. Union Street. (1)
