Follett House (Pomerleau Real Estate Building)

Burlington, VT

The Follett House is an 1840 Greek Revival mansion at 63 College Street in Burlington, designed by architect Ammi B. Young for Timothy Follett (1793–1857), a Burlington businessman and railroad executive.

Gutted by fire in 1979, it was saved from demolition by Antonio Pomerleau and restored as offices for Pomerleau Real Estate.

The Hartness House Inn

Springfield, VT

The Hartness House Inn was built in 1904 for James Hartness, an inventor, machine tool industrialist, and eventual Vermont governor who died in 1933. Hartness was 27 when construction began. He had an underground complex built beneath the front lawn — a private office and astronomical observatory connected to the house by a 240-foot tunnel — to escape the noise of daily life. After his family sold the property, it passed to local machine shops as a guest facility and was later developed into a boutique inn.
