Shearer and Corser Double House

The Shearer and Corser Double House, located at 592 Summer Street in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, is a historic building originally constructed as a school in 1854. This two-story wood-frame structure features a blend of Colonial Revival and Italianate architectural styles, characterized by its hip roof, clapboard exterior, and a prominent two-story porch supported by Tuscan columns. The house has a rich history, having served various purposes including an armory and a two-family residence after its conversion in 1878. It was owned by notable local figures, including Franklin Fairbanks, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in Vermont's architectural heritage.
