| Thumbnail | Description & Credit |  | Front (east) portico. Photograph by Jack E. Boucher, November 1959. (Reproduction Number: HABS, VT, 14-WOOD,1-4) Job Lyman, a young lawyer from Northampton, Massachusetts, finished this house in the village of Woodstock in 1810. He and his bride, Mary Hall, lived in it for many years while Job practiced law in town. The finely carved Neoclassical detailing on the entrance porch suggests Lyman's refined taste and the prosperity of Woodstock at the time of construction. Decorated with fluted Ionic columns and scrolled ornament, the porch also features steps made of granite from a nearby quarry. Credit: Library of Congress. |
