Bennington, VT 05201
Description
Step into Bennington’s past with the Norton-Fenton House, a distinguished Greek Revival building located at 206-208 Pleasant Street in the heart of the Downtown Historic District. Built in 1838, this stately structure was originally constructed as a double home for Judge Luman Norton and his daughter and son-in-law. The Norton family was deeply involved in Bennington’s celebrated pottery industry, and their legacy is woven into the fabric of the town’s history. Over the years, this building has served many purposes, most recently as the longtime home of Heritage Family Credit Union. Today, it offers over 6,200 square feet of flexible space, ideal for continued commercial use, adaptive reuse, or mixed-use redevelopment. Its tall windows, symmetrical façade, and classic proportions exemplify the elegance of Greek Revival architecture, while its solid construction and historic charm make it a standout in the downtown landscape. Perfectly situated just steps from Main Street, the property is surrounded by restaurants, shops, galleries, and civic amenities. It benefits from high visibility, steady foot traffic, and easy access to public parking. As a contributing structure in Bennington’s Downtown Historic District, the Norton-Fenton House may also be eligible for historic preservation tax credits and incentives.
