David Sumner House

The David Sumner House, located in Hartland, Vermont, is a historic Federal period home built around 1807, showcasing the architectural influence of Asher Benjamin. Originally the residence of local landowner David Sumner, who contributed to the area's development through his sawmills and civic engagement, the house features a striking two-story brick structure with elegant design elements, including a central entrance flanked by sidelights and a balustraded roof. Now known as the Sumner Mansion Inn, it retains many original interior features and serves as a charming venue for visitors and events. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, making it a notable stop for tourists and researchers interested in early American architecture and local history.
