About This Home

This Queen Anne-Colonial Revival home blends old-world charm with modern comfort. Known historically as the C. W. Humphrey House and later “The Meeting House,” it was built in the early 1900s by Charles W. Humphrey for his new bride, featuring ornate wood trim, intricate inlaid parquet floors, and colorful stained-glass windows. In 2013 the home was lovingly restored through the efforts of Green Mountain College and the Town of Poultney. It is presently the Guest House for the Bhakta-Griswold Campus. The house boasts a marble block foundation, wraparound porch with decorative columns, a purple slate roof, ornate trim and pocket doors. The spacious foyer is framed by the original grand staircase, double living rooms and the parlor/den. The kitchen sits at the back of the house, conveniently located near the elevator for easy entry from the lower driveway when carrying groceries. The well-lit dining room sits just off the kitchen. Upstairs just past the multi-colored stained-glass window at the top of the hall you'll find six bedrooms. The master bedroom boasts a walk-in closet and a turret style balcony. The second bedroom features a beautiful decorative fireplace. The other four bedrooms are all sufficiently sized. A one car garage completes the property.
