209 N. Winooski Avenue

This one-and-one-half story, gable front house sits on the west side of North Winooski Avenue, between Crombie and Decatur Streets.  The house features one-over-one, double hung sash windows, aluminum siding, stone foundation, slate roof with raking eaves, and small, central chimney.  The entrance is on the left side of the front facade beneath an Italianate door hood.  A single-story, one-by-three bay pent roof addition protrudes from the southerly facade. 

The Italianate door hood is characteristic of the 1870s, as well as the slate roof with raking eaves, stone foundation, and small, central chimney.  The aluminum siding has replaced the original clapboards, and the windows, too, appear to be replacements.

The 1900 Sanborn map reveals only the main block, and the 1978 Sanborn map reveals the additions and also shows a side porch on the southerly facade, in front of the addition.

No information could be found regarding the original occupant.  Louis N. Beaulieu, of 11 Bright Street, ran a bakery from this building in 1888, and toward the end of the century, he moved into the house and continued running the bakery from home.¹  He remained at this address until around 1910.²  Joseph Mauso, of 2 Decatur Street, held a furniture store here after Beaulieu left.³
